Félix Agramont Cota, first Governor of Baja California Sur.Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, was named a " Pueblo Mágico" in 2006. There are many accommodations both at San Pedrito and at Cerritos beach. San Pedrito Point, Los Cerritos and other local surf breaks attract surfers from around the world. Playa Las Palmas and Playa Los Cerritos are great beaches for swimming and shell collecting. However, some of the area’s beaches, with rip tides, undertows, and fairly steep drop offs close to shore, are not considered safe for swimming. There are many beautiful beaches within a 15-minute drive of Todos Santos. The lawsuit was settled in 2018: the hotel continues to use the name, abandoned efforts to apply for a trademark in the United States, and now expressly denies any connection with the song or the band. The Eagles were seeking relief and damages. § 1125 and Common Law Unfair Competition and Trademark Infringement. On May 1, 2017, the Eagles band filed a lawsuit against the Hotel California in the United States District Court for the District of Central California alleging Trademark Infringement in Violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. The Hotel California is a favorite stop because of the name association with the song made famous by the Eagles, even though the song does not specifically reference this particular hotel, nor any other existing hotel. There are a few annual festivals, including the Festival de Cine and the Todos Santos Music Festival. Handicraft shops, owner-operated art galleries featuring landscape paintings of local scenes (some artists from Guadalajara and other parts of Mexico also exhibit works in Todos Santos), upscale restaurants, boutique hotels and restored colonial buildings have contributed to the gentrification and redevelopment of the town. More recently, there has been a gradual increase in tourist activity and a boom in real estate development.

The town now prospers from farming vegetables, chilies, avocados, papayas and mangoes, as well as from fishing and ranching. The highway brought tourists and the rich farmlands have been revived.

Todos Santos faced a bleak future until the spring came back to life in 1981 and the Mexican Government paved Highway 19 in the mid-1980s. Only one existed by the time the town’s freshwater spring dried up in 1950, and that last mill closed in 1965. ĭuring the 19th century, following the secularization of the missions, Todos Santos thrived as the Baja sugarcane capital, supporting eight sugar mills at the end of the 19th century. Located across the street to the southwest from the small town plaza, this mission contains the statue of the Virgin of Pilar, which is the focus of Todos Santos's main festival in November.ĭuring the Mexican American War, the Skirmish of Todos Santos, the last battle of the war, was fought near the town on March 30, 1848.

In 1724, it was renamed Nuestra Señora del Pilar de La Paz. The mission at what is now Todos Santos, Misión Santa Rosa de las Palmas, was founded by father Jaime Bravo in 1723.
