After such a disappointing Christmas Day I made sure that I would be based somewhere a little more civilised for New Year. I thought La Paz would be the obvious choice, problem was – so did everyone else. The place was heaving with people during my first stay here. I was to return a week later to find the place much more peaceful and therefore much more pleasant.<\/p>\n

Cosmopolitan La Paz is a mix of laid-back, old-world beauty and chichi upscale trends. It\u2019s surprisingly international \u2013 you\u2019re as likely to hear French, Portuguese or Italian here as English or Spanish, and yet paradoxically it\u2019s the most \u2018Mexican\u2019 city in all of Baja. Its quirky history includes American occupation and even being temporarily declared its own republic. Herna\u0301n Corte\u0301s established Baja\u2019s first European outpost near La Paz, but permanent settlement waited until 1811.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The beachside maleco\u0301n<\/em>, superb restaurants and funky stores make it a great place to meander, and you can shop uninterrupted by touts\u2019 invitations. The city also makes a good base for day trips to Cabo Pulmo and Todos Santos. Stayed in a lovely B&B – Hotel Mediterrane<\/a> – located very close to the malec\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Next stage: Todos Santos.<\/p>\n
