Developers in Tijuana Coastal areas, thru Rosarito and Ensenada, see Mexicans and Americans picking up bargains!

First: A reality check on Mexico
 Mexico is in a unique position to reap many of the benefits of the decline of the US economy. In order to not violate NAFTA and other agreements the U.S.A. cannot use direct protectionism, so it is content to allow the media to play this protectionist role. The U.S. media - over the last year - has portrayed Mexico as being on the brink of economic collapse and civil war. The Mexican people are either beheaded, kidnapped, poor, corrupt, or narco-traffickers. The American news media was particularly aggressive in the weeks leading up to spring break. The main reason for this is money. During that two-week period, over 120,000 young American citizens poured into Mexico and left behind hundreds of millions of dollars.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Fiestas de la Vendimia. You know, the two-and-a-half-week harvest festival held between the first Friday and the third Sunday in August that combines visits to state-of-the-art wineries, Italian tenors, alternative-style circuses, Kafkaesque plays, mime, modern dance and performance art?

Not ringing a bell? Valle de Guadalupe—the 14-mile region about 90 minutes south of San Diego and four hours from Los Angeles—is arguably Mexico’s premier artisanal wine–growing region. The valley and the nearby city of Ensenada are where the majority of the fiestas take place, bookended by the Muestra del Vino—showcase of wines—and the Concurso de Paellas, an über-paella contest featuring more than 80 equipos, or teams, making every conceivable incarnation of the dish. Gargantuan pans filled with seafood, rabbit, sausage and cordonices—valley game hens—fill the air with heavenly aromas. But don’t get too excited. Paella tickets are long gone at this point. We’ll get to that later.
