Here I will pass along some of my personal recommendations on a few places you might want to try out along the way to Bahia...

Places to Stay

Looking for a place to stay in Ensenada that won't cost you an arm and a leg?  Try "Motel Colon"...

Another place to stay along the route to Bahia can be found in the small town of Vicente Guerrero, just North of San Quintin,  at "Motel Sanchez".  This is another place laid out around a courtyard, you can park right in front of your room, and they too have a night attendant.  Prices are very reasonable and you even watch a little TV (one channel!).  There is a great taco stand a few steps down the road and on the same side of the street as the Motel.  You'll find it just after the Dulceria which the motel is a adjacent to.  A little further down the road on the opposite side of the street, there is a licor store/tienda that has phone booths where you can make a call if you wish.  I always stop in there and call my Mom and Dad to let them know I made it to the motel ok!

Places to Eat

Here is a great little place that has "home cooking".  Very good food, very reasonable, and I highly recommend it.  It's not much more than a large taco stand with some tables and an enclosed area for eating, but don't let that fool you.  They can cook up a storm in there!  They have a great variety of hot dishes, and if you can't decide what to order, tell them you want a "Mixto".  They will serve you a plate with a little bit of everything on there so you can give it all a try.  You'll find it at KM 16, after the town of San Quintin; just after the curve where the turn off is for Santa Maria.  The name of the establishement is: "Parcela 12"
