Parks & Nature

The first Sunday of Every month (rain or shine) from about 6am-1pm. People have a used the walking trail from Canon de Dona Petra to San Antonio de las Minas. It's a fun and free activity anyone can participate in. It's a great way to meet local people.

Arts & Culture

This is a great starting point because it's easy to find since it's about 5-10mins from the property. From here, ask how to get to the Mission of Valle de Guadalupe (it's not very well known or fancy like the San Gabriel Mission in Los Angeles), but it is run by local volunteers and it's a great part of Baja Ca and California History. I also recommend the Russian Museum and Russian Restaurant that is near the Mission. After all, how often do you get to try Russian food in a small town in Mexico?

Essentials

There is a local store called "Los Hermanos Carneceria" where you can buy soda, snacks, and a few toiletries. But not a very big selection of items. The closest nearby store for bigger selection is Calimax and Soriana in San Marino. I prefer Soriana, since it's in a plaza that also have dry cleaning services, subways, dog grooming and an awesome coffee shop. Plus Soriana usually pays the dollar better and has great offers. They also have an ATM machine, which is rare to find in el valle.

Drinks & Nightlife

It's not a winery, but they have a HUGE selection of wines from all the nearby wineries and from afar. They also offer beer, cocktails and an all you can eat buffet on Sundays. It's also a great place for kids since they have a trampoline and slides. The food selection is great with reasonable pricing. On Thursday nights they have karaoke and some weekends they have live bands. Great place to hand out and unwind. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner on weekends.

Food Scene

Nearby places to eat.
Extremely long lines on weekends, but the view from above dining area is amazing! This place has live bands, great local brew beer (Chivo Grunon). But be prepare to wait 2 hours or more for a table during busy season. I recommend this place on a week day around 4-5pm, just before the sunsets to get a breath taking view of the whole area.
