the old todos santos inn


A highlight of the trip to baja was getting drinks and dinner at the todos santos inn. One of the oldest buildings in todos santos (built by a sugar baron in the 1800′s), the hacienda in the center of town has been totally restored as a historic inn and stands as an incredible contrast to my dad’s house.

I fell in love with the high beamed ceilings, colonial style brick, tile floors, spanish fixtures and, of course, the crumbling mural in the entry. The food was so so but the margaritas at sunset in the bar were perfect!

Update: A bonus picture that Marie sent me of me taking pictures (and the picture I was taking):

    Wow, I’d love to stay there. I lived in California for a year and a half and I miss those Spanish-influenced tiled floors that were everywhere…you don’t really see many of those up here in Vancouver.

    I also have to ask, are the shoes you’re wearing in the photo Bensimons? I love them!
