For a trip back in time, plan a day trip to El Triunfo, a small mining town located an hour’s drive from Todos Santos along Highway 19. In 1862, silver and gold were discovered in the southern mountains of Baja California Sur, prompting miners from Mexico and the United States to set up camp. Many of these miners had participated in the 1849 California gold rush. But others seeking riches journeyed from as far away as China, Russia, Italy, Germany, England and Canada.

Sabor a Cabo, “The Taste of Cabo,” one of the largest and most prestigious international food and wine festivals in Mexico, will be staged on Saturday, November 30.

While Halloween is a cherished and much-anticipated holiday in the U.S., where kids dress in costume and trick-or-treat from door to door, in Mexico the main autumnal celebration is Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos).

A uniquely Mexican holiday that originated long ago in several pre-Hispanic cultures, Day of the Dead is an acknowledgement that death is a natural phase in life’s continuum. The dead, kept alive in memory and spirit, are recognized as members of the community. Imbedded in the culture is the belief that the souls of the deceased return to the home of the living to be with family members and feed on the food offered to them on the altars placed in their honor.

The final quarter of the year in Los Cabos is packed with special events of all kinds. One festive event worth noting is San Jose del Cabo Restaurant Week, a culinary celebration dedicated to highlighting the region’s extensive and excellent gastronomy.

Each participating restaurant during the festival, scheduled for October 19 – 26, will offer a 3-course menu for only $800 MXN (approximately $42 USD). No fewer than 41 restaurants, many of them situated within the charming precincts of the colonial city, have confirmed their participation. Many of the establishments feature live music.

When prospective investors or second-home buyers ask about whether investing in Los Cabos real estate is a good idea, the answer typically is a resounding ‘Yes.’

What generally follows are all the other questions about prices, communities, locations, best places to invest, and forecast on return.
