Laid-back Mexican oasis offers art, eats and those palm trees - Todos Santos, Mexico

TODOS SANTOS, Mexico—Happening upon a cluster of palm trees in the middle of the Mexican desert is something of a novelty.

After driving for kilometer after barren kilometer across the dusty terrain of Baja California Sur, void of any signs of people or plant life (there are animals—cows and goats—who take their time crossing the road), Highway 19 suddenly rambles its way across the Tropic of Cancer and into a small town, where there are people, and there are a few desert-dwelling plants. And, refreshingly, there are palm trees. A whole grove of them, in fact.”*
