San José del Cabo main square area is a beautiful and very safe place to hang out, if you like art and jewelry then you are for a treat because you will find many many stores in the area, as for the tips if you plan to buy something NEVER accept the first price they offer you because I assure you they can go as long as 40% of the first price sellers offer you, another great tip is to book your transportation to your resort online with Cape Transfers, their private Suburbans for a party of 5 are like 70usd (taxis at the airport will try to scam you with 150 usd for and old van with no a/c), as for good places to eat we recommend you a Mexican restaurant called “las guacamayas” los tacos are great there!! Cabo is an excellent place to visit this time of the year, the weather is beautiful! enjoy your vacations!🌊

A very large open square with an enormous flag pole dominating opposite the mission. Easy to wander round the surrounding streets and look in the shops. One stood out with its large sculpture made from recycled metal items. There is a large ‘San Jose del Cabo’ sign outside the mission.

This is a large, popular square in front of the San Jose Mission church. On the sides are a number of souvenir shops. We visited right after Christmas and saw a large, decorated Christmas tree and a large lifelike Nativity scene. The square really came to life at night with all sorts of families walking around and talking with each other, in spite of the rather cold and windy night. I imagine it must be especially popular on the summer nights.

On 1/23/2024, San Jose Del Cabo enchanted us with its captivating mix of vibrant culture and tranquil beauty. Every moment, from the historic charm of the town to the awe-inspiring beaches, felt like a glimpse of paradise. The culinary scene was a delightful sensory journey, providing an authentic taste of Mexican flavors. Whether we were exploring art galleries, strolling through charming streets, or simply soaking up the sun on pristine shores, San Jose Del Cabo proved to be a gem leaving a lasting impression—an ideal destination where relaxation seamlessly intertwines with cultural richness. We missed the opportunity to experience the San Jose del Cabo Art Walk, a popular weekly event held every Thursday evening from 5-9 pm between November and June. However, we were fortunate to catch it in Cabo San Lucas last Friday adding an artistic touch to our overall adventure. For those craving a vibrant party scene, the Cabo San Lucas Marina area is the ultimate destination. In summary, our time in San Jose Del Cabo was a delightful equilibrium of cultural exploration and relaxation, offering a perfect blend for a memorable experience.

Rented a car from the resort to see this beautiful town ❤️ perfect for a senior who needs ramps vs stairs. Very touristy, vocal vendors doing what they can to get you to sit down to eat & drink or shop! “They will help you spend your money.” We had the conversations and most of the prices were crazy! The best spot we found was a tequila shop/store for a beer and a few samples. Fixed prices and not pushy - which was nice. We were fine after three hours of the square and a few side streets. You could definitely stay longer and explore more!

Loved the Art Walk at Plaza Mijares on Thursday night. Amazing artwork available, and delicious food at the various stands. Even had a local band playing for an hour or two. It was a fun atmosphere with a lot of the locals in attendance.

Plaza Mijares is a retail plaza in San Jose del Cabo. This location was the site of our excursion in Cabo on our Viking Ocean Cruise this past January. We were on our own to shop for about an hour. This was more than enough time to look around the church and the plaza area.
