The sun was just beginning to rise as I found myself in Rosarito, a place that had long been on my radar. Known for its vibrant beach culture and stunning ocean views, it was the perfect spot for a photographic safari. As a surfer, I’m always drawn to the sea, and Rosarito promised a unique blend of adventure and relaxation.

Our first stop was Puerto Nuevo, a charming community known for its lobster delicacies and vibrant craft markets. The salty sea breeze mingled with the aroma of freshly cooked seafood, creating an intoxicating atmosphere. I wandered through the bustling streets, camera in hand, capturing the lively scenes and colorful crafts. The locals were warm and welcoming, eager to share their stories and traditions.

As we moved on, the landscape shifted, revealing the majestic Christ statue overlooking the town. Standing at the highest point in Rosarito, it offered a panoramic view that was nothing short of breathtaking. The ocean stretched out endlessly, its waves whispering secrets to the shore. I took a moment to soak it all in, the sun casting a golden glow over the scene, perfect for a photograph that would capture the spirit of Rosarito.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, our adventure took a lively turn at Papas & Beer, a legendary spot known for its vibrant nightlife. The energy was infectious, with music filling the air and the sand beneath our feet. It was a place where time seemed to stand still, where the worries of the world melted away with each dance and drink.

Alejandro joined us, his laughter echoing through the night as we celebrated the simple joy of being alive. The drinks flowed, and the conversations deepened, each moment a testament to the carefree spirit of Rosarito. It was a fitting end to a day filled with exploration and discovery, a reminder of why I love this nomadic lifestyle.
