Ensenada
Ensenada is a port city on the Pacific coast of the Mexican state of Baja California, on the Bay of Todos Santos about 100 kilometres south of Tijuana. Named by the Spanish navigator Sebastián Vizcaíno in 1602, it grew after gold was found nearby in the 1870s and was the capital of the northern district of Baja California from 1882 to 1915. It is now a fishing, wine-producing and cruise port.
