El Angel Azul

La Paz, Baja California

Eating

Breakfast is the only regular meal offered at El Angel Azul. A bowl of fresh guava, papaya and lime is followed by toast or tortillas, jam, coffee and juice, then fruit with yoghurt, Swiss muesli or eggs of the day (perhaps chilaquiles - eggs cooked with tortilla strips, refried beans and cheese). It's served in the courtyard under large sunshades from 8am to 10am, with the sound of the fountain babbling in the background and the resident cat, dog and pair of love birds wandering around your feet. When the early morning cool starts to give way to searing heat, you’ll see the back of breakfast and the beginning of another scorcher. If you need to leave for an early flight or a day trip, coffee is available at the bar from 7am.

No other meals are available at the B&B, but La Paz’s promenade, the ‘Malecon’, is only a 10-minute walk away and has plenty of tapas grills and restaurants for the evening repast.

Save to favouritesPrintMailEl Angel AzulStep off the plane at La Paz airport and you’re in the hot heart of a dusty Western… the surrounding landscape is desert, the sun beats down mercilessly on the cowering buildings, and in summer the streets of the town are deserted. But just off the Avenida Independencia is a heavenly haven from this scorching setting: El Angel Azul ('The Blue Angel'). Discernible only by a blue sign and door set in bleached white walls, this stylish B&B was a former courthouse that had lain empty for 20 years. Scrupulously restored by the current owner, Swiss-born Esther Ammann, it has a tranquil and relaxed atmosphere, with rooms facing the cacti-filled courtyard under shaded colonnades. With shrines, sculptures, paintings, even an ensenada (clay ‘day of the dead’ skeleton) dotted about the garden, it feels more like staying in the villa of an arty friend. Esther has turned a shell into a local landmark and is definitely a cool host who know hows to stay cool in a hot town.
