The Valle and surrounding communities of San Antonio de las Minas, El Porvenir and Franciso Zarco were once just small farming communities dotted with a few wineries.

Where to Stay Lodging in the valley region is sparse but growing. With each visit, I see...

When you live in San Diego, it’s easy to forget that this is where everyone is saving up to visit. Instead of heading out for a quick jaunt out, we decided to stay in… town, that is.

With so many events offered all year long, it was not hard to come up with something to do.

Adventure Travel | Ride the Baja Divide
A Baja Adventure for the Outdoorsy Type It’s rocky, sandy, dusty terrain for 2,000 miles. You need to lug 2-3 days worth of food and water at a time on your bicycle and it may take 6 weeks to travel the whole thing but the Baja Divide might just be something you might totally want to add to that adventure travel bucket list. From the sound of it, I’m certain that the trek is NOT meant for the casual Mission Bay Cruiser. This passion project is being pushed by Lael Wilcox and Nick Carman who both have quite the long-haul...
