Many rumors claim that HOTEL CALIFORNIA is in the town of Todos Santos on the Pacific side of Baja California, Mexico. This seemed a possibility as the Cabo San Lucas area was popular with rock stars of the 70′s. I recall being anchored next to Crosby, Stills and Nash on David Crosby’s Alden, MAYAN in the mid 70′s and, of course Keith Richards married Patti Hansen there.

Star Mexican chef Javier Placensia brings his signature Baja Med cuisine to Baja Sur via this warm, open-concept place just out of town and up a tiny hill for terrestrial views. Nearly every ingredient is sustainably and locally produced meaning plenty of seafood, meat and vegetable dishes on a menu that changes with what's available.

The Todos Santos Trópico de Cáncer Concert Series is an eleven day event that takes place in January of each year. Much of the festival will take place at the Hotel California and is hosted by the Cordovas. The festival gathers touring musical acts for two weekends of great music and fun in this charming small Baja town.

Ticket flexibility will allow you to enjoy either individual days or multi day passes to enjoy the complete experience. Not only is it a great venue, with great acts, a portion of the proceeds goes to aiding the local fire department known as the ‘Bomberos’.

You can also make personal contributions that will help the ‘Bomberos’ with their vehicle and equipment so that they can continue offering their vital service.

On the Tropic of Cancer the small village of Todos Santos (not the famous island break) has miles of average beachbreaks plus a few miles north near the windmills is the swell and crowd magnet spot of La Pastora, which handles all size swells from both NW and S.
