Los Cabos has a double personality. There’s Cabo San Lucas, the deep-sea fishing mecca and party capital at Land’s End; and, 20 miles away, San Jose del Cabo (St. Joseph of the Cape), a charming colonial town situated on the west bank of the nearby Río San José.

The Best Views in Quivira
A room with a view? They are plentiful throughout the various hospitality entities within Quivira Los Cabos.

But there are also a couple of venues set just about beach level that are just as inspiring.
Cinco de Mayo: A Great American Holiday
It is one of the great ironies of Mexican history. Cinco de Mayo (May 5) commemorates the anniversary of Mexico's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It does not equate to Mexico’s Independence Day (September 16), the most important national holiday in Mexico. Aside from military parades and battle reenactments in Puebla and a few other cities, May 5 is not widely celebrated south of the border. For example, Cinco de Mayo is not a federal holiday. Banks, offices and stores remain open.
Discover the Magic of Mexico’s Pueblos Mágicos
The Travelers Guide to Mexico is an invaluable tourism resource produced in Mexico and available in a bilingual edition. The guide’s description of Pueblos Magicos, or Magical Towns, is instructive.

He stresses bedrock fundamentals, not passing fads. His take on golf instruction removes a lot of the mystery and muddle surrounding the proper execution of the full golf swing.

May 20, 2022 Because many locals in Los Cabos speak English, it’s easy to be lazy-minded when it comes to learning Spanish here. By mastering a few basic phrases, you’ll earn the appreciation of residents. While Spanish pronunciations are somewhat challenging and a bit different from English, overcome your reticence and give it a try. The locals will love you for it. Before we get to the phrases, understand that compared to our own, Spanish is a phonetic language. And while most Spanish letters are identical to those in English, many are pronounced quite differently. Try opening your mouth a little wider to properly enunciate the words. A few basic rules: · The letters “ai” have an “i/y” English sound Example: Jaime (HI-meh) · The letter “h” is always silent. Example: Hugo (OO-goh) · The letter “j” is pronounced like “h” in English. Example: hombre (OAM-bray) · The double “ll” is pronounced like “y” in Spanish. Example: Llevar (ya-var which means to bring or to carry) · The letter “ñ” - When you see a wave (tilde) on top of the letter “n,” use the “ny” sound, like the way the English word “canyon” is pronounced. Example: España (es-PAHN-yah) · The letter “q” is always joined with the letter “u.” The letter “u” is silent. The letters “qu” are pronounced like “k” as in kit Example: quince (KEEN-say) According to SPANISH in 10 minutes a day, an excellent language-learning kit, “Don’t worry about whether or not you roll your “r’s” perfectly. What is important is to learn as many words as possible so that you can put them together in sentences and communicate. The guide states that there are seven key question words to learn. Notice that only one letter is different in the Spanish words for “when” and “how much.” Practicing and saying these seven key question words will advance your progress. · Donde (dohn-deh) = Where · Qué (keh) = What · Quién (kee-en) = Who · Porqué (por-keh) = Why · Cuándo (kwahn-doh) = When · Cómo (koh-moh) = How · Cuánto (kwahn-toh) = How Much Now for some useful phrases: Good morning – Buenos días (BWAY-noass DEE-ahss) Good afternoon – Buenas tardes (BWAY-nahss TAHR-dayss) Good night – Buenas noches (BWAY-nahss NOA-ches) Good-bye – Adios (ah-de-oos) See you later – Hasta luego (AHSS-tah LWAY-goa) How are you? – Como está usted?
