ENSENADA CUOTA OR LIBRE?
Welcome to my Ensenada page,
My suggestion is to take the toll road (Ensenada Cuota) from Tijuana to Ensenada. There are three tolls, about $2.50 each and this road is kept in much better repaire than the free road. (Ensenada Libre) This road also is along the coast of the Pacific Ocean and has some spectacular views. Of course the Ensenada Libre costs nothing and you will see the dirt poor sights along the way.
Ensenada is a fishing village/beach town about seventy miles south of Tijuana. It is a popular place for San Diegans to visit but not nearly as touristy as Tijuana.
Hussong's Cantina in downtown Ensenada was the biggest draw for many young SD students looking for a rip roarin' time. In fact "in my day" Hussong's was almost synonymous with Ensenada. However it wasn't the wild night of drinking and debauchery that attracted me to Ensenada, it was the spectacular views along the coast, a few restaurants and further on, La Bufadora.
There is so much more to see and do in this growing fishing village, and it can be a relaxing get-away. I hope you discover the charm.
I Hope You Enjoy Your Visit,
Linda
- Pros:Close enough to San Diego for a day trip.

So many wonderful places in this side of Mexico..wow!
Just great photos of La Bufadora - nothing there when I was watching "Buffie" - only the amazing shooting water!
Very good tips, interesting cliffs and reading. I have one more reason to come back to... San Diego now haha.
For some reason, the Baja Peninsula has always held a fascination for me! Thanks for this interesting insight into it's upper reaches! Maybe I should get there soon?
Sweet town...thanks for the intro and review. We visited so many years ago.
Hi Linda - Thank you for the visit to my Rosarito page. Great Ensenada tips. Haven't been there in ages. Must go back soon. Have a wonderful 2005!
It's been a long time since I've been to this area - thanks for bringing back some good memories for me!
I haven't been in Ensenada for years, it really has changed - time to visit again. Have a Happy Easter!
I went to Ensenada a few month ago, really love it there. hope to go back there again, great page, happy travel=)))
That oceanside pool at Las Rosas looks great! We have something like "La Bufadora" in Canary Islands, impressive to see the ocean blowing through... Nice page!
