For health benefits or just relaxation, more Hispanics are experiencing spa treatments like this hot mud bath in Calistoga.

Each restaurant prepares two courses and pairs it with wine from Casa Madero, the oldest winery on the American continent.

And they’re not buying nearly as many as Mexicans, who as a group are buying about half of all new properties currently sold in popular regions such as the one anchored by Puerto Vallarta.

The real estate market in Mexico was hit hard by the housing bust in the U.S., though home sales in Mexico have been supported somewhat by a strong Canadian economy and by
