Tianguis Turístico Welcomes Everyone

Baja California Throws Open the Doors

Since Friday, April 26, the Tianguis Turístico has been buzzing at the Baja California Center in Rosarito. And for the first time ever, it’s not just suits and business cards—the general public is invited too.

Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda announced the change, calling it a historic move to bring Baja’s magic closer to its own people and visitors. Let’s be honest—who better to celebrate Baja’s beauty than the people who live it every day?

At this year’s event, you’ll find:

  • Baja’s top wineries, resorts, restaurants, and tour operators all showing off their best.
  • Special buyer meetings and seminars that, frankly, sound way fancier than we’re used to.
  • Public spaces where you can taste, see, and experience Baja without a press badge.

The Baja California Center, perched between Tijuana and Ensenada, couldn’t be a more perfect spot to show off our beaches, wine valleys, art, and tacos… yes, especially the tacos.

Whether you live here full-time or you’re just Baja-curious, this is your chance to dive into what makes this place unforgettable.

Governor Marina del Pilar handed over ten electric carriages to local drivers

Ensenada Rolls Out Electric Carriages: Tradition Meets Innovation

Ensenada has taken a significant step toward sustainable tourism

On April 21, Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda gave out ten electric carriages to local drivers. These will replace the old horse-drawn ones.

The new rides carry four passengers. They’re quiet, eco-friendly, and best of all, no horses needed.

The state invested 2.75 million pesos through its Department of Economy and Innovation. Officials also plan to install charging stations across town.

This move follows a new law in Baja California. It bans animals from pulling carriages for tourism. It also recognizes animals as living beings, not property.

“This is a big day,” said the governor. “We’re ending horse-drawn rides and moving to clean, modern transport—without losing our charm.”

The change didn’t happen overnight. Authorities worked with drivers to find solutions. Now, drivers get to keep their jobs—and horses get to rest.

Jenny de la Cruz, speaking for the group, thanked the state for helping them modernize. She said the change protects a tradition that’s been part of Ensenada for over 40 years.

So yes, you can still ride through Ensenada’s scenic streets. But now, the wheels are quiet—and the animals are free.

Here at the Gringo Gazette North, we love when old traditions meet new ideas. Especially when everyone wins—including the horses.
