Baja With Bearings
Baja With Bearings is an independent travel publication focused on Baja California state: Tijuana, Tecate, Rosarito, Ensenada, Valle de Guadalupe, Mexicali, San Felipe, San Quintín, and the roads between them. It is not a hotel, booking agent, tour company, government office, insurer, or continuation of any former business on this domain. Guides separate durable geography from details that must be checked live.
