Shopping in Rosarito

Colors, colors, and colors

There is so much to do in Baja that one weekend trip never quite covers it. I always want to show my friends everything and end up running out of time. Inevitably, I have to cross off a thing or two from my list and save it for their next visit.

Some of the nicest times, though, are the unexpected ones.

The shops you discover on a casual stroll…

and the people you meet.

There are artisans in the street…

The delicate process of adding color

…and artwork everywhere you look.

One thing there is no shortage of is color.

Not much more can awaken your senses as much as walking into a Mexican candy shop.

Varieties of piñatas to choose from

There is an area in the main part of town that is worth exploring. You may not see it at first glance because only a little alley way takes you there. But once you find the walk way just north of the famous El Nido restaurant, it will open up to a whole new world filled with delights.

Whether it’s clothes you want…
