Una leyenda en Todos Santos, B.C.Sur..
(Situado a 80 km. de La Paz B.C. Sur)

No se sabe a ciencia cierta si los Eagles estuvieron o no en el Hotel California, si este mágico lugar en un recóndito rincón de México, los haya inspirado para escribir la letra de tan famosa canción de los años 70, pero sin lugar a dudas, este hotel es de gran atractivo para quienes visitan Todos Santos.
Según una leyenda urbana, Don Henley, cantante de los Eagles, se habría hospedado a principios los 70's en el Hotel California siendo tal el encanto, que sucumbió ante él, creando casi de manera espontánea, la letra de esta canción. Al día de hoy, a pesar de que Henley ha desmentido tal versión, el lugar conserva ese misticismo que ha atraído a miles de turistas deseosos de formar parte de la leyenda y tomarse una foto frente al legendario hotel, que aún conserva su fachada original de arcos.

Compartimos contigo ésta "famosa" canción.

Hotel California

By The Eagles

On a dark desert highway

Cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of "colitas"

Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance

I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy,

and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle

And she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

(Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year (Any time of year)

You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted

She's got the Mercedes Benz®

She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

That she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard

Sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember

Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain

Please bring me my wine, he said

We haven't had that spirit here since, 1969

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

(Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

They're livin' it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise

(What a nice surprise)

Bring your alibies . .
Mirrors on the ceiling

Depict champaign on ice, and she said

We are all just prisoners here

Of our own device

And in the master's chambers T

hey gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives

But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember

I was running for the door I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

Relax said the nightman

We are programed to receive

You can check out any time you like

But you can never leave.
