The city of San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico has the SJD airport. Fronting on the beautiful Gulf of California, San Jose del Cabo was founded in 1730. Located at the tip of Baja California Sur, San Jose del Cabo offers outstanding swimming, kayaking, water skiing, Jet Ski jaunts, SCUBA diving, parasailing and snorkeling. The mission San Jose del Cabo was founded in the year 1730. This port city was useful to the Spanish as a source of fresh water for galleons traveling to and from the Philippines.
In San Jose del Cabo you will find luxurious all-inclusive resorts. Also on the outskirts of San Jose del Cabo, you will find the well known Palmilla Resort.
San Jose del Cabo is the more exclusive of the two "Cabos". There are the lavishly manicured grounds of the private resorts of the movie stars. You might happen to see a major movie star enjoying some of the clubs and five star restaurants scattered in and around San Jose del Cabo.
For nature lovers, one of the hidden gems of the Baja region is the protected estuary on the southeast edge of San Jose del Cabo. Whether you want to add to your list of birds spotted or watch pods of dolphins frolic, the inviting weather makes the estuary a year-round nature hot spot. There are motor tours available, or you can pack a picnic lunch and explore.
San Jose del Cabo was for hundreds of years, the only community at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula. With its natural fresh water oasis flowing into palm-lined lagoons at the oceans edge, the area supported Indian communities and hundreds of species of wildlife for thousands of years before colonization by the Spanish. During the pre-colonial period it was a watering and provisioning stop for Spanish galleons. The heavy ships laden with treasure, silks and spices from the east were the 'big game fish' then for pirates like Sir Francis Drake who came looking for 'donations' to his favorite charity (himself) and his majesty the 'Virgin' Queen Elizabeth. San Jose del Cabo was finally settled in 1730 with a Jesuit mission and fort to help stabilize the region against these marauders.
As the years went by, explorers like Cabrillo and Vizcaino, cannoned warships, whaling ships, and clipper traders running the West Coast all stopped and often left, leaving crew behind. Some of the old families in Todos Santos, La Paz and San Jose del Cabo have English and French derived surnames from ancestors who were buccaneers before jumping ship and becoming ranchers and fishermen.
San Jose del Cabo for hundreds of years has been an outpost on the tip of the Baja California peninsula. Up until twenty years ago Cabo San Lucas was just a few farmhouses, some scrawny cattle roaming the dirt roads and a fish cannery. There was only a twenty-mile dirt road connecting it to the only town nearby, San Jose del Cabo.
The quaint town of San Jose del Cabo has an almost fantasy land quality about it. In the city center you will find a elegant Spanish colonial styled city hall with murals of old Baja inside its corridors. Within, there is a two-story courtyard shaded by a huge Mexican Laurel.
Often one can enjoy an art exhibit or concert here in the evenings. Out front on Mijares (the main street), there is a block long fountain dividing traffic on the street lined with plastered and columned old colonial buildings and almost secret paseos or inner courtyards full of shops graced with bougainvilleas, palms and laurels. Adjacent is a one acre tiled plaza shaded with gigantic palms and century old trees surrounding a Victorian bandstand and a newer outdoor stage for larger performances.
Frequently in the evenings on the plaza of San Jose del Cabo in front of the cathedral, one can enjoy traditional Mexican bands, Latin dance and rock and roll music. One can literally dance under the stars here, or in one of the nearby clubs as in the Tropicana Inn (located across the street from the municipal palace). The Tropicana Inn often features fine Cuban or Mexican bands as well as romantic covered outside dining along the boulevard.
San Jose del Cabo exhibits the best of traditional Mexico with its blocks of unhurried streets and graceful tree covered sidewalks, its scores of shops, galleries, fine restaurants, boutiques and total absence of popular franchises such as McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and Hard Rock Cafe. It's a place to explore, unwind, take-in and treasure. San Jose del Cabo is one of the most quaint, historic towns in Mexico.
Art exhibitions, fiestas and traveling shows from other regions of Mexico often appear at the plaza with little notice. Visit during a fiesta you may be treated to fireworks, a band may be performing on stages up and down the streets, carnivals, cockfights, a rodeo and thousands of locals from the barrios and ranchos from miles around crowding the streets of San Jose del Cabo.
Overlooking the San Jose del Cabo plaza is a cathedral with a ceramic tile mural above the doors, eternally reminding the locals of the Jesuits whom the Indians massacred centuries ago. The Indians had serious issues such as not wanting to wear pants, being allowed only one wife, and having to work for the church. The braves preferring instead to hunt, fish, party, get drunk, fight and play with their squaws. The Jesuits in their opinion did not offer them much other than an austere life based on faith, subservience, work, and death by disease. The Jesuits, thought the Indians, just didn't get it. After all, people come to Los Cabos to play and have fun.
