Relax and stay awhile
Now is your chance to safely test out what it
would be like to relocate or retire in a place like Mexico.
The La Paz
area is an excellent value for extended stays where you can unwind
and/or get the feeling of retirement without the commitment of
moving. While your down here, you can check out possible
permanent options to relocate or retire. The surrounding
community of El Centenario has many retirees and others relaxing and
recharging their batteries before resuming their lives up
north. This is a very inviting neighborhood, with enough
space for privacy but enough friendly folks to chat and share stories
with.
La Paz lives up to its name, The Peace, and is a lovely easy-going
Mexican city which happens to be the capital of Baja California Sur,
Mexico. Since it’s less touristy than its neighbor to the
south, Cabo, the cost of living is lower and the communities are more
established.
