San Lucas or San Jose

San Lucas or San Jose

Before writing about the differences between San Lucas or San José, just let me remind you that the distances between these two places is only 12 miles. So there, do not stress out about where to stay, where to live or invest... We are just divided by this gorgeous Touristic Corridor.

Yes there are particularities about each town but that is the magic! They both make "Los Cabos", so we are one!

What would you do without the Organic Market of San José or without the Arch that is located in San Lucas?

I have always lived in San Lucas and I love all the action and attractions. The Land's End is here along with the rocks, the arch, the mountains. San Lucas is the one surrounded by the two oceans, Mar de Cortés and Oceáno Pacífico... If you want to admire the sun disappearing into the ocean you need to by by the Pacific side.

Land's End Loving Couple

The beach in Cabo San Lucas is something you can not miss. Medano Beach is everybody's favorite. The World Famous mango Deck is the place where Shrimp Ceviche (Ceviche de Camarón) can turn into a very interesting experience. Instead of a jazz singer or some mariachi giving a show, the entertainment comes from your fellow tourists, which of course are mostly drunk people having fun under the sun! However it is not only party and cerveza on Medano Beach, you can also enjoy very good Restaurants. And places to eat by the Marina, lots to explore! Downtown also have places with amazing cuisine, ambiance, views and open for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

At night of course, if you like to party, get ready for sunrise! An infinite number of bars open their doors for you, offering the traditional mexican beers, then Cabo Wabo with its life music, Mandala, Squid Roe... until they close at dawn. What to do other than beach and party? You wont get bored, we have Costco, the Cultural Center, the big and beautiful Marina with its shopping center mall. There is something very powerful about living in this little peninsula, so close to Finisterra (Land's End). It is teh land of never getting bored!

Not to be outdone is the beautiful San José, the place where we have all enjoyed sun, culture, restaurants, concerts, etc. To begin with, The Art Walk is a fantastic afteroon of walking downtown and stopping in every little art gallery where they will offer you a glass of wine and most of the time the host of the gallery is the Artist himself! Artwalk takes place every Thursday.

The feeling of San José is that of authentic, colonial Mexico. Every walk is different and every discovery new. Checking ambiance and menus of the restaurants allows you to choose the one that is most appealing for you. I can recommend a few but I rather talk about them in general and let you explore, choose and decide your favorite one.

Also, the magic of Puerto Los Cabos, a whole area of San José now developing and turning into a very high-end place to live, with million dollars homes and amazing resorts recently opened. The Marina is full of pangas that can take you on a fishing trip for an amazing experience in the sea.

A bit closes to Downtown, by the Paseo Malecón, the Plaza El Pescador also recently opened. Here you will find many options of restaurants, boutiques, a book store, bars, nightclubs or even a play center for kids.

MARINA PUERTO LOS CABOS

In conclusion, whether you like beach clubs, ocean views, amazing resorts, fine or simple dining, night clubs, museums.... or you are on a honeymoon, spring break, with friends, with family and kids, even if you are planning to move to Cabo permanently you will sure enjoy both areas. Both San Lucas and San José will know exactly what to offer you and how to take care of you. Everyone in Los Cabos is keenly aware that tourism is our primary industry and we are always trying to improve, enhance, and provide extensive services and options for you.

Love Cabo, Cabo for Life

After the G20 - Los Cabos

AFTER G-20

Today is Tuesday June 19^th. in Cabo San Lucas, sunny as usual. G20 Summit is about to end today, rumors say that Shakira is the one in charge of tonight’s big closure.

Mexican Government invested millions of dollars in infrastructure, not only in pavement, green areas and the big Convention Center, the first one in our state, but also in staff, in security gadgets and of course all the people behind its organization and logistics.

According to the official web page, www.g20.org, G20 has established the following priorities: economic stabilization, strengthening the financial system, promoting sustainable development, among others.

One thing we can be sure after the decision of having the G20 here, is that Cabo is safe. Well, now more than safe Cabo is a showcase full of all kind of security resources. You can see thousands of security agents, military, marines, aircrafts, helicopters, federal police, and even “The Beast”, is quite an amazing show to witness.

We are sure this Summit has accomplished its mission, but also the host, Cabo, has been privileged in many ways. Everybody is excited about all the media presence and how this can potentially bring us more groups, conventions, tourists and people interested in visiting this tip or Earth consider a “Paradise”.

We can call Cabo is a Paradise because of many reasons, starting with the magnificent Ocean and the fact that this is the place where the Mar de Cortés and Pacific Ocean find each other and embrace the rocks, the last tip of land, the Cape… El Cabo.

Some others think is paradise because of the weather, if you live in North America, where most of the year the temperature will not get higher than 75ish F, you will sure enjoy Cabo where the thermometer is always around the 85°F. But even for Mexicans, we feel this is a privileged area, because any other beach in Mexico will be yes around the 85° or more, but with much higher humidity than here, making you feel like you are about to melt if you do not drink margaritas constantly.

Also, we should consider the location, and how easy is to get a direct flight to Cabo from almost every main city in U.S.A. or Canada. Another favorable factor, for both North Americans as well as Mexicans, is that they want to be closer to their families or business and being able to take a 2 or 3 hours flight back home make them feel secure, and readily available.

This is the story of why an estimated 40,000 US and Canadian citizens live in Cabo. They were once just tourists but became part of the Locals community. All of them are now part of Cabo and that is why Cabo is all about a little bit of every single one of us, the fortunate residents of this “Paradise”.

And it has being a placer to me, as a Realtor to help many of these “Paradise” seekers, the dreamed home. Ventanas Residences offers you the best communities in town, one of the biggest Club House and that is why we have a very long list of “Happy Customers”. You can check out some of my Happy Customers at my website:
