Proceeds from the sale will go toward expanding La Misión Performing Arts Center
Step into history and culture at the Quinta Los Delfines Estate Sale, a one-of-a-kind event taking place on February 7th and 8th, with a special VIP preview on February 6th. This extraordinary sale offers a rare chance to acquire antique heirlooms, artwork, and collectibles from a family deeply connected to Baja California’s history and cultural growth.
The story of Quinta Los Delfines began in 1950 when Esther López de González Saravia was inspired by then-President Miguel Alemán to invest in Baja California as part of a tourism initiative. Over the years, Esther and her son, José Miguel, developed a passion for art and antiques, amassing an impressive collection and dreaming of creating a cultural complex with a museum and theater. Today, the estate has evolved into a vibrant community hub, hosting theater productions, art classes, and cultural events that benefit residents, expats, and nonprofits like Cruz Roja and Rotary.
To support the continued growth of its programs and facilities, Quinta Los Delfines is letting go of cherished pieces from its collection. Items up for sale include fine furniture, porcelain dinnerware, sculptures, collectible models, paintings, books, and much more. A highlight of the weekend is the live auction of premium items and a silent auction, both happening on Saturday from noon to 2 pm.
The event kicks off with the exclusive White Diamond VIP Preview on February 6th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. For $25, attendees can enjoy champagne, caviar, hors d’oeuvres, and a sneak peek at the auction items. The main estate sale will run Friday and Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm, offering something for everyone, from casual collectors to seasoned antique enthusiasts.
Proceeds from the sale will go toward expanding La Misión Performing Arts Center, ensuring that Quinta Los Delfines continues to be a cultural beacon for years to come. The estate sale represents not just a chance to own a piece of Baja California’s history but also an opportunity to support its vibrant future.
Don’t miss this unique event filled with history, art, and the spirit of community. For more information, contact quintalosdelfines@gmail.com and get ready to explore a treasure trove of Baja California’s rich cultural heritage.
Hold onto your sombreros, folks, because Mayor Rocio Adame Muñoz just wrapped up her first 100 days in office, and boy, did she come in like a mariachi band at a quiet dinner! In a recent reveal that had the local crowd buzzing more than a beachside margarita mixer, Rosarito’s fearless leader dished out a hefty list of improvements that have the town talking.
Starting with a crime rate that’s dropped faster than a tourist’s inhibitions during spring break—25% to be exact—Rosarito is now less about “watch your back” and more about “watch this space.” But it’s not all about dodging the dodgy; there’s a whole revamp going on with schools, libraries, and sports facilities getting facelifts that would make Hollywood envious.
The flagship project, Plan 10×100, is a gutsy blueprint touching everything from the ground up. Picture this: El Morro school now has classrooms ready to withstand even the gnarliest rainstorms, thanks to some nifty upgrades. And for the bookworms among us, three libraries have been spruced up, with the Octavio Paz library now a beacon of knowledge and free Wi-Fi.
But wait, there’s more! The Santuario Milly is on the verge of being the next hot spot for our four-legged amigos, and Rosarito’s youth are getting their game on in newly pimped-out sports centers. Let’s not overlook the introduction of ‘Gobierno Móvil,’ a roving government service that’s been making the rounds, making sure the older crowd doesn’t miss out on the action.
Safety’s also on the up, with new security measures that include more lights in dark corners and weekly round-tables keeping the peace. Tourists can now wander a bit more worry-free with bilingual help desks and improved infrastructure to sweeten their stay.
So, while the margaritas are still cold, the future in Rosarito is looking pretty sunny. Here’s to 100 days down and many more bustling, less bumbling days to come! Cheers, Mayor Muñoz!

Baja California, where margaritas flow as freely as the sunshine, is now bracing for a rare visitor: a cold front. Yes, folks, it’s time to put away your flip-flops and dig out that jacket you swore you’d never need. With not one but two cold fronts—numbers 9 and 10—set to crash the party, Baja residents are preparing for a taste of what the rest of Mexico calls “autumn.”
Blame It on the Polar Air
The good news? You’re not imagining things. The bad news? The temperature drop is as real as a frozen margarita in July. The cold front isn’t just a breeze; it’s a full-on polar air invasion. Temperatures are predicted to nosedive, especially in the early mornings when Baja’s usual sunny optimism might feel more like a frosty slap in the face.
Rain? Check. Wind? Double-check. And let’s not forget the chill-factor mornings that will have locals considering—gasp!—buying socks. It’s all courtesy of this polar express, sweeping through Mexico and reminding everyone that, yes, weather does occasionally change.
What to Expect in Baja
While the mainland is dealing with frost and even whispers of snow (seriously, Mexico?), Baja’s unique geography spares us from the worst of it. But don’t get too cozy. Winds will kick up, especially in coastal areas, and morning temperatures are expected to dip below the comfort zone for your average Baja native. You know, the kind who thinks anything below 20°C (68°F) is apocalyptic.
For those in northern Baja, temperatures could hit a teeth-chattering low, especially in Tijuana and Mexicali, where residents might even spot a bit of frost. Meanwhile, in southern Baja, Cabo San Lucas is likely to experience cooler evenings that might finally justify all those outdoor fire pits nobody ever uses.
Will It Snow? Don’t Hold Your Breath
Some parts of Mexico are expected to see snow (hi, Chihuahua and Durango), but Baja is, thankfully, not on that list. Our desert landscape might get a little damp and chilly, but the white stuff isn’t in the forecast. You can safely leave your snow shovel dreams for another day—or decade.
What Should You Do?
First, breathe. This isn’t the Ice Age. Second, enjoy the cooler weather—it’s practically a vacation from Baja’s relentless sunshine. Need tips? Here are a few:
• Dust off that sweater you’ve been hiding in the back of your closet.
• Stock up on hot chocolate—yes, you can still spike it with tequila.
• Take a moment to enjoy how much better your coffee tastes when you can see your breath in the air.
For those running on solar-powered lifestyles, keep an eye on your panels. Overcast skies might affect your energy supply, so don’t be shocked if your favorite device takes a little longer to charge.
Sure, a cold front in Baja might feel like Mother Nature lost a bet, but it’s not all bad. The drop in temperatures means fewer mosquitoes (finally!), and you might even get to light that fancy candle that smells like pine trees for “seasonal vibes.” Plus, let’s face it, the chance to complain about the cold is a refreshing change from griping about the heat.
So, bundle up, Baja! This chill is temporary, and soon enough, we’ll all be back to sweating over our cervezas. Until then, enjoy the novelty of waking up and not immediately regretting life. Just remember: winter is coming—Baja style.

The Wavve, a new luxury residential project by Estrategia Urbana, has officially begun construction on the scenic toll road to Rosarito.
Located in Punta Bandera, at kilometer 18 of the coastal highway, The Wavve will feature two towers, each with 150 apartments offering stunning panoramic views.
Today, Thursday, the ceremonial first stone was placed, with company executives from Estrategia Urbana, Bustamante Realty Group, local officials, and invited guests in attendance.
Notable figures at the event included Arturo Espinoza Jaramillo, Baja California’s Secretary of Infrastructure; Mónica Vega Aguirre, Secretary of Environment; Miguel Aguíñiga, Secretary of Tourism; and Tijuana’s Secretary of Urban Mobility, María del Pilar Vázquez, among others.
Leading the ceremony were Jonathan Cohen, CEO of Estrategia Urbana, and Moises Zapan, the company’s CCO. They expressed their gratitude to local authorities, their clients, and everyone who contributed to the company’s establishment in Baja California. Special thanks went to the construction team working on The Wavve.
Héctor Bustamante, the director of the company managing the sales, announced that 60% of the units have already been sold.
Mónica Vega highlighted the project’s environmental efforts, which include a water treatment plant and solar panels for common areas, showcasing the developer’s commitment to sustainability.
With an investment of nearly 1.5 billion pesos, The Wavve is expected to generate over 450 jobs. According to Jonathan Cohen, this is just the first of several projects planned for Baja California by Estrategia Urbana, a company with over 25 years of experience and more than 70 projects completed in Mexico and the U.S.
