Mountains meet Mexican Beach
How To Get There: Fly into Los Cabos (via Southwest and most airlines). Car to San José Del Cabo (5-10 minutes from SJD) and drive to Todos Santos (1 hour).
Soundtrack: Rodrigo y Gabriela, Thievery Corporation, Gina Chavez, Walker Lukens
Best For: Mexican farm to table food, colorful patterns, murals and art, earthy adobe architecture
Tips: Stop by the Hotel California(not the original).

Where to Sleep
Drift (San Jose) - Hostel meets swanky hotel with an amazing fire pit and pool in the court yard tucked in the city center of old San Jose.
Casa Tota (Todos Santos) - Spanish-style boutique with charm in old Todos Santos.
San Cristobal (Todos Santos) - High-end boutique hotel on the beach by Liz Lambert (Austin Motel, St. Celia in Austin, Marfa’s El Cosmico among others). Pricey but you can get a day pass for the pool and experience events (like yoga) without being a guest.
