FIELD TRIP: San Jose del Cabo
The Arts District of San Jose del Cabo is a great way to spend the day!
Sometimes you just need to escape Todos Santos for a little while, and sometimes you’ve got errands to run…either way, after the recent rains flooded so much of the town, your attendance is appreciated even more, so here’s just a few ideas to go and explore!
Deliciousness on every corner, these are just a few ideas to get you started…there’s so many more, we’ll probably have to write a second edition!
Ruba's BakeryAir-conditioning, delicious food, hidden nooks, and flexible hours…there’s really nothing to not love about Ruba’s Bakery. The Cubano Sandwich is giant and worth the wait.
Coffee LabCoffee Lab has multiple locations, and the coolest little bar with great events…our favorite of the locations is in La Playita in the Puerto Los Cabos neighborhood by the Marina. But you can’t really go wrong with the coffee, food, cocktails or vibe.
LumbreWe’re a sucker for open-fire cooking, and so if you’re the same and looking for a great dinner experience, we think Lumbre is the move.
Acre ResortAcre is an oasis, which is a good thing to know as you start wondering if you are heading in the right direction. Follow the road signs, Google gets a little confused. It’s open for lunch or dinner, there’s a pool pass for daytime fun, the treehouses are wonderful overnight options, and the dog rescue means you can spend some time snuggling puppies! And if you’re visiting, sign up as a flight volunteer to escort a puppy to its new home!
Clandestina BarEvery once in awhile you may want to enter into a place that offers an escape from Baja Sur, Clandestine is it.
Let’s go shopping! And then get a massage! And then maybe go lie down and stay the night so we can do it all over again tomorrow…
Quiero Recordings It’s like hanging out with your best friend listening to records and reminiscing; if your best friend was a sweet Argentinian DJ who also teaches mixing. Tell Leonides we say hi.
Gypsy Soul HouseDay spa, here we come! It’s located right in the center of town, and yet is a sweet little escape. The staff are hospitable and skilled, the salon is air-conditioned and serene, and there’s great packaged retreats to dive into along with salon products for sale.
el Ganzo HotelPuerto Los Cabos is our favorite hideaway, close enough to San Jose to eat well, yet far enough for ocean breezes and a quiet lull. Except when El Ganzo is hosting events, then it feels like all of Baja Sur has arrived. El Ganzo is a scene, yes. But the rooms are spacious, face the ocean, with giant beds and bathtubs in the middle of most rooms. Add in rotating artists-in-residency, and you have a full vibe shake-up that will have you back in Todos Santos refreshed and reinvigorated.
