{{about|the town in Baja California Sur, Mexico|the Texas Tech University yearbook|La Ventana (yearbook)}}La Ventana is a small fishing village on the shore of La Ventana Bay south of La Paz on the eastern side of the Baja California peninsula in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. The village was founded in the early 1940s by the La Paz pearl diver Salome Leon. When pearl diving became unprofitable, Salome brought his family over the mountains from La Paz to La Ventana Bay to found the village. Many of his descendants continue to live, fish, and work in the village.[1]{{multiple issues|{{Advert|date=November 2009}}{{Refimprove|date=November 2009}}
