Read below to learn more about this charming town that is a bit off the beaten path.

Spotlight on Baja’s Los Barriles

To start with, Los Barriles features excellent weather, natural beauty, a rich culture and a desirable slower pace of life. As a result, many people love to visit Los Barriles or even want to buy a second home in the area. Small town life in Mexico is especially attractive right now. If you prefer having the modern conveniences that Cabo offers, Los Barriles is still perfect for a day trip or weekend getaway. Visitors love the sense of community and peaceful ambiance. While small, the town does have a grocery store, local tortilleria, and local fish market, too. When hunger strikes, you can feast on tasty and inexpensive fish tacos on the street. Or have a nice meal at the Italian restaurant in town. Plus, there is a bank with English-speaking staff members, 2 gas stations, a health care clinic, a dentist, hardware store and veterinarian office, too.

The Origins of Los Barriles

The origins of Los Barriles date back to 1535 when Spanish explorer Hernan Cortez and missionaries arrived in the southern Baja. Years later, Jesuits, Dominican and Franciscan padres inhabited the area and built beautiful missions. Many of these churches have been restored to their original beauty and are still in operation today. Baja Sur have rich mineral deposits in the area that contributed to its growth. The local economy in the area is mainly fueled by tourism, especially world class sportfishing. Lastly, organic farming is very popular.  Delicious and healthy fruits and vegetables such as mangoes, dates and avocados are grown in the area.

Local Flora and Fauna  

The local flora and fauna is impressive. Los Barriles is situated between the Pacific’s rocky coast and the flat sandy beaches of the Sea of Cortez. The Baja peninsula features the Sierra de la Laguna where hills turn into sandy flats. There, a diverse landscape with unique flora and fauna thrive. Cardón filled desert, ancient mango groves, and conifer covered mountain ranges abound. Plus, more than 125 species of plants grow in the area.  In addition, bird watchers will be keen to look for the 6 endemic bird species in the area including the adorable Cape Pygmy Owl. 

Outdoor Activities

Outdoor sports lovers will not be disappointed by Los Barriles. While the area is well known for fly fishing, is also Baja’s kitesurfing and windsurfing capital. There are tons of lovely beaches that are ideal for water sports including swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking, too. Other popular outdoor activities include hiking, ATV tours, mountain biking and horseback riding. Depending on the time of year you visit, marine life includes manta rays, sea turtles, dolphins, whales and whale sharks. Plus, Baja have pleasant weather nearly all year long.

The Allure of Beautiful Views

At Villa La Estancia, we recognize the importance of surrounding yourself with beautiful views. As a result, our exquisite beachfront residences will simply take your breath away. Read below to learn more about why beautiful views make us feel so great. Plus, majestic vistas are a key selling feature when it comes to luxury real estate.

Lush and New Vistas

Did you know that many historians believe that mankind is actually programmed to enjoy two different types of scenery? This includes lush views and novel, or new, views. Examples of lush views include natural sights such as a tropical garden or jungle, crystal clear ocean and beach view or a peaceful snow covered mountain top. Novel views are vistas which are new and interesting sights that we have not experienced before. An example of a novel view would be an exciting new city that we are seeing for the first time. Humans actually experience a slight positive mental sensation anytime we see either of these types of scenery. If you are lucky enough to be surrounded by scenery that is both lush and new at the same time, you will be able to experience both positive sensations simultaneously.

Journey To Find A Good View 

Regardless of where we find ourselves, humans inadvertently do our best to find ways to feed our minds with beautiful images. For example, we grow indoor plants in our homes to bring some of nature’s greenery inside. Plus, the best homes have large windows and balconies that offer views to the beauty outside. Great views also mean a higher price tag and value when it comes to properties. As a result, real estate that is situated close to parks, rivers, and the ocean come at a premium. We even use our cell and computer wallpaper screens of distant lands we hope to visit one day or of beautiful places we have visited and enjoy remembering. Did you know that some people believe that humans are hardwired to enjoy novel scenery? The idea is that this desire for beauty encourages us people to adventure out and explore. That motivation to see what’s around the next corner could have helped the human species evolve to find adequate places to live. Lastly, the euphoric feeling of experiencing novel scenery could be the reason why individuals take chances to seek out new, unexplored terrain.

Mexico Lifestyle Goals: Personal Concierge

The concept of a modern-day concierge is believed to have originated in the 19th century in Paris and was a post typically filled by Swiss people. As a result, concierges at that time were known as a “Suisse,” and they usually lived in a small apartment on the ground floor of an apartment building. This allowed the concierge to efficiently monitor the access of anyone who wanted to enter the building. Other reports indicate that as far back as the 18th century, concierges were actually a high official that was appointed by the king to maintain order among the community. They also oversaw police and prisoner records. Today’s concierges are an important element in modern-day residences and resorts that help maintain high levels of customer service and added efficiency for their clients. Keep reading below to learn more about concierges, and why Villa La Estancia has one of the best concierge services in all of Mexico.

Evolution of Concierges Over Time

While concierges originated as a person that helped monitor the comings and goings of apartment buildings in Paris, today’s modern concierge performs more like a secretary or personal assistant. They are able to perform a wide variety of tasks to make your stay incredible each and every time. Concierges at upscale hotels, resorts and real estate developments assist guests and homeowners with a variety of tasks such as making restaurant reservations, scheduling spa treatments, booking transportation, coordinating luggage delivery via porter service, and can even offer helpful suggestions on the best activities and tours to enjoy in the area.
