"The
Carmel of Baja" |
| Todos Santos is a home to painters, sculptors, and
artisans. In Todos Santos, the mission Nuestra Señora del Pilar de La Paz,
was founded by father Jaime Bravo in 1723. This church still stands today,
but is known as Nuesta Señora del Pilar de Todos Santos.
Known for its fertile land and abundance of water, Todos Santos was the
ideal place to grow sugar cane. In 1850 there were eight sugar mills. For
nearly 100 years the sweet rewards of a working community led to the
building of beautiful colonial style buildings. Today, many of those
buildings are being restored.

Todos Santos is located 1 hour south of La Paz & 1 hour north of Cabo
San Lucas at the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains. |

Todos Santos has recently
been named a PUEBLO MAGICO (or "MAGICAL TOWN") by the Mexican national
government - a distinction that signifies its uniquely authentic
historic and artistic charm.
This brings with it an infusion of public capital into the community for
expanding infrastructure within the community and for linking Todos
Santos to surrounding communities over the next 10-20 years.
Currently, there are approximately 30 such communities with this
distinction in the country and this status shows, not only the Mexican
government's commitment to the community, but the promising future of
Todos Santos, El Pescadero and surrounding towns that have already
experienced notable growth and improvement in the past ten years.
