It's possible to take a day trip to Todos Santos or even to La Paz.

At El Tupe, we were served by the chef, who spoke little english but was obviously enthralled with his work. It has only 5 tables.

We started with an herbal cold tea. But he brought our glasses upside down on a piece of smoldering wood. This infused a smoke that was strongly reminiscent of a campfire and was really intriguing.

He said that was his point in cooking - to evoke memories of other places and feelings.

It was almost magical.
