Ensenada, discovered by Juan Rodriguez Cabrilho and Sebastian Vizcaino in 1592, was named "Ensenada of Todos los Santos."

The first mission was established in 1773 and some other ranches were settled along the coast and up into the mountains
.
In the late 1800's the gold miners turned the area into a boomtown, but after the mines were depleted the area went back into an agriculture state. During this century, Ensenada has grown steadily up to be considered one of the most important seaports in Mexico, known as "The beauty Cinderella of the Pacific."

Ensenada conserves a lot of historical atmosphere...
Its warm Mediterranean weather, friendly atmosphere and accessibility by land, air or sea, have made Ensenada a favorite tourist destination for many years and Mexico's second most-visited port for major cruise lines and pleasure boats.
