Hi, I live in Southern California and part time in Playas de Tijuana. Hope to learn a bit more about Baja in this forum and share what I know as well.

Is that a spelling error in the last word?

No, no spelling error.

BMG is a group oriented towards gay men in North America who are interested in Mexico, with an emphasis on the State of Baja California. The group is designed to allow for the exchange of information related to the GLBT scene in Baja, and to make new contacts. Members can also post related announcements, and discuss topics related to Mexico and its people.

Hope you visit back at this forum after some of the comments made. I am straight female in a interracial relationship so I know about small minds. I have thought about moving to the playas too..except I am starting to wonder in getting away from some things ( in S cal) what I would be going to... ?
People eating Denny More stew calling it food, and making remarks
anyways hope you continue to post here I am interested in knowing how progressive andopenminded the community of the playas is! In Peace and Health~

Agreed that Playas may be open minded than other parts. I have a transgendered friend who tells me Tijuana and Guadalajara where (s)he's from are the most open minded cities in Mexico. Anyway, welcome Tigre. The only group I am predjudiced against are politcians because they want to tell me how to live and I resent that.

(If anyone notices that I edit a lot of things recently it is because my typing fingers and my mind have not been getting along lately).

Welcome to the Playas de Tijuana, Tigre.

I don't judge anyone by their sexual orientation. Gay, Straight, Purple Cows...

Hugs and Welcome,

Beachie

Welcome Tigre

I hope you enjoy the site and can add to it

Oddly enough I remember a chain of drive thru dairy stores named the purple cow. Does that date me or what.

Dawn,

In Baja, I have lived in Rosarito and now in Playas. Other areas I have lived in-land are Guadalajara and Cuernavaca. If you are considering a move to Playas I would say that it could be a good move. Depending if you need a house or an apartment the prices can vary.

The apartment I was in for a while was 2 bedrooms overlooking the beach for $400 a month. The neighbors were friendly and often would sit outside in the early evenings chatting. The place I am in now is 2 bedrooms but is a couple of blocks from the beach and is only $250, but is mostly in a neighborhood of homes so I have not met many neighbors since I am a part-timer. Best part about Playas is the amount of new building that is going on with stores, movie theater and other attractions.

There is no need for a car. You can get the bus to Tijuana Centro for 65 cents or take the Ruta taxi for a bit more. Even the Taxi Libre to Centro is only about $5. A bad thing about Playas is that there is only one road in and out. When a concert is going on at the bull ring or an accident occurs, get ready for a long wait with your car.

Tigre,

Where about in the Playas are you? I'm near the Mercados Emilia between Paseo Ensenada and Paseo Playas in one of those "houses" LOL. $500 a month for a two bedroom with a back yard, walled in.

The apartment is on Paseo Pedegral in the same building as Punto com, an internet cafe. It has been several weeks since I have been in town due to business travel and work in the LA area. Hoping to be in the area some time soon though!
