History |
A Portuguese explorer sailing under the Spanish flag discovered Ensenada on September 17, 1542. Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo named the area San Mateo.
It remained San Mateo for 60 years. In 1602 Spanish captain and explorer Sebastián Vizcaíno rediscovered the area. He renamed it Ensenada de Todos Los Santos
She elaborates on the influencial roles of historical notables like Father Junípero Serra, The Dominicans, Alferez José Manuel Ruiz and Francisco Gastelum.
Remember that as recent as 1848 and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, there was no difference between Baja California, Mexico and what is now the US state of California.

“Part of the wonderful experience of coming to Baja Language College has been simply getting there. Every time I come to the school, crossing the border, taking the bus and being met in Ensenada by my “host family” gently reminds me that this is immersion of the best kind!
Baja Language College staff and fellow students become “family” from the first contact. There are so many options for classes, housing and transportation that I keep coming back for a new experience year after year.
When I return to my work and home I am so much more aware of my sensitivity to the Mexican experience. No matter where I travel or what I have learned, living and sharing another culture connects me by more than words.
I went to a beautiful, well-organized school in Costa Rica. I learned so much more at Baja Language College in Ensenada and felt even safer!
Thank you for the gift of my dear friend and Ensenada family!”
