Loreto Mexico holds the history of Baja Calfornia in its ancient roots.  Founded in 1697 as a Jesuit mission camp, Loreto was later taken over by the Franciscans and named the administrative capital of the entire territory of Calfornia.  It held this position for some 130 years  before a hurricane devastated the area in 1829.  Today Loreto is thriving in a new renaissance spurred on by growth, tourism and real estate.  This once sleepy town has been energized by the development seen throughout the entire southern tip of Baja California.  Now boasting its own international airport, Loreto is fast becoming a formidable competitor to the well know tip of the Baja - Cabo San Lucas.  Loreto holds a certain attraction and charm for many because it has yet to truly be discovered.  The beautiful and protected waters of the Sea of Cortez are like no other and Loreto provides the perfect gateway.

Many tout Loreto as the "anti-Cabo" - the beaches are not yet littered with timeshares or high pressure vendors, developments are mainly low-rise and the attitude is still a happy level of "low-key".  Although the charm and deep history will never leave the area, the development picture is likely to change with time.  Planned resort communities with tourist facilities are becoming increasingly popular with North Americans.  Although the change has been a long time coming, many believe the tidal wave of growth is right around the corner.       

The original mission church still stands in town today with the inscription over the door, "The head and mother church of the missions of upper and lower California" calling to the importance of a time long passed.  The future however looks bright.  Come find your dream home in Loreto - what are you waiting for?
