This May in Chapala was the hottest I have seen in 17 years, so Ensenada for a month next year would be a good option. It has a very weird, artificial vibe, but maybe the expat areas are a bit more normal. I look forward to your report on these...
Maybe after watching this video you realize this isn't a large expat or English speaking community here in Ensenada. Occasionally there are tourists in the centro area because the cruise ships regularly stop here. You need to speak at least some Spanish if you are planning to visit. I only know a few fluent English speakers where I live and I haven't met any expats in the years that I've lived here. I've heard that south of town in the Punta Banda area there are more expats although in my trips down there I haven't run into many. If you like being around English speakers and only expats this isn't the place for you. Maybe try Rosarito, it's a more well known tourist spot and has the same type of weather . Buena suerte!
@@davidsebastianelli1326 Thank you for your reply, which was Substantially More Informative than the video! I had ASSUMED a large expat community of former Southern Californians fleeing the problems of that state for a location with equal weather, but cheaper, and with fewer issues. A kind of Lake Chapala by the Sea, I had thought... (Lakeside has gentrified vastly in recent times as thousands of Canadians & Americans flee here!) OK, reset... Ensenada: 443K population, overwhelmingly Mexican, has shrunk 5% from 2010, so housing has to be a good news story compared to Chapala. I rent a furnished 2 BR in a small apartment building here. What would that cost in the parts of Ensenada away from the port and the tourists? (I do speak decent Spanish.)
@@jackbaldwin3649 so glad you enjoyed the video. We would absolutely go back to Ensenada, it's one of our favorite places for the weather and proximity to the United States.
Have been going to Cabo ( like Peurto Penasco ) with my wife & I go fishing for past 20 years & the Fishermen generally will be a bit more vocal & friendly in many instances. It shouldn’t be a bother because it is light talk.

@@mariavbarrios62 hello! We don't demand anything from anyone. Most of the United States speaks Spanish. Also, did you not watch the video? Did you not see that we speak Spanish to the locals? Maybe you missed all of those parts.
That area looks really nice and the water show was so cool, especially when seen from the drone!
Yes! 😀
A great video, thank you!
@@daniellew86 You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks bro!

Yes!!! We have heard that Chapala weather used to be cooler but this hot weather I think may be the new norm

Great video! Would you come back to Ensenada? I appreciate all the insights about the street hawkers, the locals and so-called gringo prices!

"No Tengo hombre," I have no man. 😂
Yeah when they come up to the USA. If they open a business
people from Mexico will get a lower price than US citizens.
I would not be comfortable with the aggressive nature of some of those people.
Based on this comment I would say you’re probably projecting. I’ve met nicer people I baja and Mexico than in the USA for sure.
@@heyeye81 Projecting? I prefer shopping and dining without being accosted. Perhaps you misunderstood.
