The following links provide access to some related information sites. If a link seems to have changed, please notify me by email.

If you are aware of a site which might be appropriate for listing, email me the address ("URL"). I do not "surf" the web looking for Baja sites, so it's up to readers and website developers to provide me with new listings.

I have included some commercial sites which might be useful for the traveler to Baja California. Sites also exist which are simply selling property in Baja California, and these are not included since they do not provide information for the general visitor.
