Owner purchased this villa in 2005
Why Owner chose La Salina
Alma de Salina property Ocean Paradise, is half way between Rosarito and Ensenada, a short highway drive to the Guadelupe Valley, Mexico's finest wine Country. our climate is around 70 degrees and winters are mild. this is the main reason we bought this property to avoid the Arizona scorching summer heat.
You also can enjoy for pennies per wave crashing onto the beach and a ring side seat for the sun setting over the ocean as well, lucky you...
Outstanding value.
