History of the place and interesting facts
Baja California has a rich history characterised by various cultural influences. Originally inhabited by indigenous peoples such as the Kumeyaay and Guaycura, the region was discovered by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. In the centuries that followed, missionaries set up several mission stations in the 18th century to Christianise the indigenous people and introduce agriculture.
After Mexican independence in 1821, Baja California became part of Mexico, but experienced instability, especially during the US-Mexican War (1846-1848), which led to the cession of large territories. In the 20th century, the region began to grow and developed into an important tourist destination, especially in cities such as Tijuana and Ensenada. Today, Baja California combines traditional culture with a modern lifestyle and attracts visitors from all over the world.
Culture
Baja California combines indigenous traditions, Spanish influences and modern elements in a fascinating culture that can be seen in festivals such as the Día de los Muertos and the Fiesta de la Vendimia.
The region is known for its art scene, music styles such as mariachi and norteño, as well as its fresh seafood and wines.
Historic mission buildings and modern architecture characterise the picture, while the proximity to the US border promotes a special cultural mix. One issue to be aware of in Baja California is crime.
