MEXICAN CHRISTMAS IN LOS CABOS
THE TRADITIONS OF MEXICAN CHRISTMAS
Christmas in Mexico is a magical blend of deeply rooted traditions, vibrant celebrations, and mouthwatering culinary delights. In Los Cabos, this festive season takes on a unique Baja flair, combining traditional Mexican customs with the coastal charm of the region. Here’s a glimpse into how Mexicans celebrate Christmas and the special ways you can join in the festivities in Los Cabos.

Mexican StreetFood
Savor the Flavors
Mexican street food is a culinary treasure, and at its heart are tacos arguably the country's most beloved dish From bustling markets to quiet plazas, taco vendors serve these handheld delights filled with everything from smoky carne asada to tender barbacoa. Each taco is a masterpiece, crowned with fresh salsas, diced onions, and cilantro, all wrapped in a warm, freshly made corn tortilla. The experience of biting into a taco al pastor, with its marinated pork and juicy pineapple, or savoring a fish taco drizzled with creamy chipotle sauce, is nothing short of magical. Tacos embody the spirit of Mexican street food: vibrant, versatile, and undeniably satisfying
Complementing tacos is elote, the quintessential Mexican street corn. Grilled to perfection, elote is generously coated with creamy mayonnaise, sprinkled with chili powder, and topped with a squeeze of lime and crumbled cotija cheese. It’s a savory-sweet explosion of flavor that captures the essence of Mexican culinary creativity. To wash it all down, there’s horchata, a sweet and refreshing drink made from rice, cinnamon, and vanilla. This creamy beverage, served ice-cold, is the perfect counterbalance to the bold, spicy flavors of tacos and elote Together, these staples create a harmonious trio that represents the vibrant street food culture of Mexico simple, delicious, and deeply rooted in tradition.

THE CABO MAGAZINE
BEACH DIVORCE BEACH
Nestled in the heart of Baja California Sur, Playa del Amor, or Lover’s Beach, is a breathtaking destination that perfectly captures the charm and wonder of Cabo San Lucas Located at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, this secluded beach is flanked by towering granite rock formations and offers an enchanting view of where the Sea of Cortez kisses the Pacific Ocean The journey to Playa del Amor is just as magical as the destination itself You’ll start at the Cabo San Lucas Marina, where you can hop on a glassbottom boat or a traditional water taxi. The short ride takes you past the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas, known locally as "El Arco," offering plenty of photo-worthy moments along the way. The beach is only accessible by boat, adding a sense of exclusivity and adventure to your visit. Once you arrive, the golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and stunning vistas await, making it the perfect spot for sunbathing, snorkeling, or simply soaking in the serene beauty of this natural wonder
For those looking for a bit of excitement, the nearby Divorce Beach, on the Pacific
side, offers a contrasting experience with stronger waves and a more dramatic landscape.
