Loreto, Baja California Sur

I have just completed a new wordpress website for some clients in Loreto, BCS - not to be confused with Lareto, Texas which is a pretty tough town. Loreto, Baja is gorgeous. In my research I was constantly blown away by the beauty of the landscape. Red ragged mountains with giant cactus trees and sharp precipices overlooking the aqua blue Sea of Cortez dotted with islands. Amazing! And the wildlife you get there - you can go on a baby whale petting tour - yep baby whales. And you can swim with baby seals.

(ps. They are as soft and cute as you think they are - I know because one kissed me while I was snorkeling in La Paz.)

Anyways, I digress. My laid back, easy to please clients, John and Barb Haggarty have just moved to Loreto from Cabo to take advantage of a more relaxed way of life and a projected increase in tourism now that FONATUR is coming in to start developing the area. The have opened Mision Loreto Properties with the intent of providing qualified real estate services to people in the Loreto area. They go as far North as Mulege and down South to La Paz.

They are members of AMPI Los Cabos so they have access to the excellent (best in Mexico IMO) MLS system and you can search for all the listings in the Los Cabos area right from their site, which if you know anything about searching for real estate in Mexico, is a rare treat!

The site is built on wordpress using the mls IDX feed for the listings and some amazing imagery supplied mainly by a local photographer. Beautiful place, great people (sharp sense of humour!) and a nice looking, well functioning website. Check it out!
