Where to Drink in Todos Santos, Mexico

One of Mexico’s “Pueblos Mágicos” (Magical Towns), Todos Santos, in Baja California, has bewitched artists and writers for decades. Now a draw for digital nomads as much as for creative types, it’s a test case in how a community handles welcoming an influx of outsiders while maintaining authenticity.
