Definitely worthwhile to check out. But better yet is if you can go to an event, that will allow you to feel more belonging in the surroundings. Great if you are a conference planner.

This is a beautiful building, lovingly restored from its former use as the casino in the 1920s.

Our Princess cruise stopped in Ensenada in Sept. 2011. We enjoyed the day walking through town shopping and sitting in a local cafe with afew beverages.

We caught a Mexican wedding at the cultural center along the waterfront. It has beautiful inner courtyards like something out of Zorro, a historic well and quaint gardens in the rear.
