With temperatures averaging 10 degrees cooler than La Paz 50 miles north, Todos Santos, Baja Mexico is a popular artist colony in Baja California Sur and home to the real Hotel California. The mythical locale has been host to the popular urban legend that it was visited by The Eagles in the 1960s, prompting them to write their 1970 hit of the same name, thus drawing countless tourists each year to the infamous locale. Even though the band claims that they had no association with the Todos Santos inn, and the song is about the temptations of the Los Angeles lifestyle like countless other Sunset Strip band anthems, unwitting tourists flow in each year regardless to take pictures and patronize the ample selection of Hotel California commemorative merchandise.
