Baja California, it is sometimes informally referred to as Baja California Norte, to distinguish it from both the Baja California peninsula, of which it forms the northern half, and Baja California Sur, the adjacent state that covers the southern half of the peninsula. While it is a well-established term for the northern half of the Baja California peninsula, however, its usage would not be correct, because Baja California Norte has never existed as a political designation for a state, territory, district or region.

FONATUR releases land in Loreto!?!

This report is not verified, we got the information from an English published free pamphlet you can find at many places foreigners frequent. According to that source FONATUR, the agency that developed Loreto, The Cabo San Lucas Marina, San Jose del Cabo and three other tourist resorts in Mexico, has put on the auction block about 11000 acres, including six miles of beach front in the Puerto Escondido area, about 10 minutes south of Loreto. The new development has been named "Golden Beach" and will be divided into three large areas. One for hotels, commercial centers and residences, a second one to develop an upper-middle class neighborhood much like they did in San Jose. Details for the development of the third area were not announced yet but the word is it will be some kind of an ecological project.
