About San Felipe Baja California, Mexico

altSan Felipe was first found 1721 by the Jesuit Juan de Ugarte,  who was out exploring. But it wasn’t mapped out for another 25 years by another Jesuit called Fernando Consag.  It was in this century that the Dominicans tried to establish a supply post in San Felipe but they were soon run out by the Yuma Indians.

Today San Felipe has all the modern amenities anyone could ever want. The community has electricity, cellular, and land lines.  Its easy to find a salon, a video store, and even a Laundromat. There is even an indoor theatre. People retiring from the States mingle with the locals easily, and find the residents friendly and helpful. San Felipe is an ideal location for boomers looking to retire, because of the new developments going up in the area, and because of its proximity to the United States.
