CITY TOUR STOP #4…read more It's almost like a farmer's market on a different level. The entire area is a delight to all senses. There are plenty of shops to choose from should you have house or souvenir needs. The beautiful ENSANADA sign is situated at the very end. And then there's that majestic flag that weighs over 300lbs - 2nd biggest in the world, according to our tour guide, Alfredo. It was a quick run (given we were a part of a tour group) but interesting, nonetheless. It's one of those places you keep in mind to visit again and walk through at your own pace. There will be a next time.

Today I felt like getting off. Exiting through the checkpoint was a breeze. Coming back through about at hour later was a breeze through security scanners and back on the ship. Staff at the checkpoint were friendly.

The best part about being in the cruise port was this gorgeous sunset: https://bit.ly/3NArKfW…read more Other than that, nothing super special about this port. But also, nothing bad to report. Upon disembarking the boat, there were photographers offering photos with locals dressed in indigenous wear. There were also 3rd party shuttles offering rides to downtown. Their hook was "it's a 4 mile walk round trip" but I didn't find them to be pushy. (Side note, it's actually only 2ish-miles round trip.) There's Ensenada signage nearby for photo ops. And this port is walking distance from a few places to explore such as outdoor markets, small businesses, cafes, and restaurants. We watched a bunch of videos on YouTube that helped us feel confident to explore on foot without having to spend money on a curated cruise excursion. I especially enjoyed our visit to Centro Social Cívico y Cultural Riviera de Ensenada, which is only half a mile from the cruise port. Walking back to the port, the guards checked for our stateroom keys on the way in. There were two ships ported at the time we were there (Carnival and Princess), and once we reached our specific boat, there were screening machines and security upon embarking. Overall, a pretty easy process. And I appreciate that this location is close enough to places to explore.

You can see old jail cells, guard towers, courtyard in front center, etc. Not much happens around here, but you can read some English and Spanish texts along the way. Didn't see public restrooms here. There's a staff onsite if you have any questions. Again, it's a much smaller museum than most other museums. Free admission. Follow the blue footprints on the ground and it will guide you to the end. Most people can finish the small tour and read everything within 10-15 minutes to get a better understanding of this landmark. It's still a nice and short addition to visiting Ensenada before leaving.
