La Paz
La Paz is the state's capital,
and the largest city south of Tijuana on the Baja Peninsula.
Surrounded by barren desert, the city is set amid ancient laurel
trees and coconut and date palms. Its waterfront promenade is
one of Mexico's prettiest. A few blocks inland is the city's
main square, the Jardín Velasco with its pink quartz gazebo,
tile walkways and 19th century cathedral.
While limited, the shopping, dining and nightlife scene in La
Paz is adequate. There are also some unexpectedly fine lodging
establishments, making it a comfortable and overall well-appointed
destination.
