The donkeys of La Fortuna. It's a mystery how they survive under the blasting sun in this desert with little edible vegetation, practically no water and dogs chasing them around every now and then.
Even though they can be slightly annoying when their screams keep you from sleeping at night or when they steal food and wreck your kitchen, they're just kinda cute and one of the reasons why this little seaside village is such a cool place to visit.

Before arriving in Baja California, I had never seen a whale. Now, I’ve grown accustomed to spotting them from a paddleboard, gliding gracefully right beside me. Yet, every time they come so near, my heart fills with joy. These gentle giants of the ocean have left an unforgettable mark on my soul. #humpbackwhale #whale #bajacalifornia #lafortuna #paddleboarding #wildlife
For the last two months we’ve been enjoying the Baja Station including its Jams. Every Sunday, this usually quiet spot turns into a buzzing gathering place as musicians and music lovers make their way to Cabo del Este. The night comes alive with great live music, cold drinks, and a laid-back, friendly atmosphere that keeps everyone coming back for more. #bajacalifornia #lafortuna #sundayjam #livemusic #goodvibes
Subwinging is one of the really unique experiences that you can have here at the Baja Station. Essentially you hold on to a board and let yourself be pulled through the water by a boat, steering up and down by rotating the board. This creates a unique feeling of flying over reefs while seeing marine wildlife.

The donkeys of La Fortuna, of which nobody seems to know where they come from, who they belong to or whether they belong to anyone at all. There are rumors that they were used for a film shoot and then released and that an elderly woman is now looking after them. But that’s just a rumor. Sometimes they come to the beach, trot along the road, approach you curiously, hoping for something to eat, let you pet them. Then again they are chased around by the dogs. It is not always clear who is playing with whom here though, because every now and then the donkeys turn the game around. How these animals can survive under the scorching sun in the desert is a bit of a mystery – there is no water and very little to eat. Sometimes you can’t sleep at night when they scream or make a racket over the compost or garbage cans. If you’re not careful, you might wake up to a devastated kitchen with all the food missing. But despite everything, you kind of like these long-eared friends that are an integral part of the small beach village life – the local surf store has even chosen donkeys as its mascot.
