Introduction

We can offer some comparative information that might be useful in your quest. We are fully retired and enjoy two Mexican homes. One is on the eastern coast of the Sea of Cortez in San Carlos,Sonora,the other here in the La Presa area of Guanajuato. We love them both and divide our year roughly 1/3 coast, mostly winter months, and the rest in GTO. If you are drawn to the ocean and want to take advantage of its bounty and recreational opportunities the coast,any coast, of Mexico is hard to beat. However, both Baja California and Sonora present really hot and quite humid summers! Our place on the coast becomes truly oppressive mid-july thru mid-October and that is when we relish our place here. Other thoughts, we must stress that if variety in life is important then Guanajuato offers a far greater variety of cuisine, recreation, and almost every other item, except of course fresh seafoods and water sports and views. Costs seem about equal, including real estate and construction. Access to the states are close ,but if you go to La Paz you will likely want to fly as the trans-peninsular highway goes on and on and...
Glad to see you are considering Mexico, we would not live anywhere else primarily due to the warmth of the hearts and the always ready smiles we find everywhere here.
If we can be of further help, just ask. But no matter where, Come on down!
