La Bufadora --
"The Buffalo Snort"  23 miles southwest of Ensenada just a few miles past Punta Banda, about a half-hour drive from central Ensenada.   There are actually two things here to see.  The alley of shops filled with every touristy knick knack imaginable and then some, the constant barrage of churro vendors and the smell of open cooking are reminiscent of downtown Vegas before the redevelopers hit it, a street in downtown Bangkok or a swap meet gone Latin.  The other side of the coin is the beauty of the small scalloped bay and rocky shores nestled in the hills rushing down to the sea.  Diving and snorkeling all along the northern peninsula is a rewarding challenge.  Through the vendor area and around the point is the 'blowhole' that sends ocean water and foam high into the air with each incoming swell from the Pacific Ocean.
