The Baja blog

For some days we had a lot of clouds in the south of the Baja Peninsula, from San Pedro to Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Most of this days we there was a little bit of rain which was good because you can see the mountains and the roads turning green, something pretty awesome for the Baja since we are a desert.

Today is finally one of those sunny days here in Cabo San Lucas, there are a lot of people spending their summer’s vacations here, the weather is perfect and the only thing left for us is to enjoy the beautiful Baja.

The hurricane Emilia is now far away from Baja, and the good thing about it is that we have a lot of rain in La Paz and Los Cabos, today I drove from La Paz to Cabo San Lucas and from Cabo to San Jose del Cabo and it is pretty unusual and kind of great to see a green road.

Most people think in Cabo San Lucas as the land’s end, in Cabo San Lucas you will find a place called Finisterra (actually there’s a hotel in there named Finisterra), but to be totally honest Cabo San Lucas is not the Land’s End.

The real land’s end is in a place called Cabo False (the false cape) which is the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula; this cape divides the sea of cortez and the pacific ocean. If you could go straight from this point to the south you won’t find land at all until you hit the Antarctic continent.

In Cabo Falso you will find amazing views, white sand dunes and a landmark in Baja, “el Faro Viejo” (the old lighthouse), I will write about this in another post because it really has an interesting history. When you come to Cabo make sure you visit the real Land’s End at Cabo Falso, by the way this is the place where the movie Troy was filmed (I just had to say it).

Hello everyone, this time I wanted to write about my favorite seafood restaurant in Cabo San Lucas, “mariscos Mazatlan”, it’s definitely the best seafood restaurant in Los Cabos, when you first get to the local well it doesn’t look as “nice” as the other restaurants in Cabo, it’s a very simple restaurant with regular tables and chairs, fans on the ceiling but still you will not feel uncomfortable with the weather since is not hot inside of the restaurant, the restaurant is located in the downtown of Cabo San Lucas behind the Dollar Rent a Car office.

At this point you might be wondering so why is this your favorite restaurant, well in the moment you sit on you chair you have a waiter giving you a tuna dip and the menu, your beverage is delivered really fast and so your food, in one sentence the service is amazing one of the best (or the best) of Los Cabos, the food is delicious, very good portions and there are always some music groups in there playing good songs. So mariscos Mazatlan is my favorite seafood restaurant in Cabo San Lucas because it’s great food and the amazing service, if you come to Cabo San Lucas try this restaurant, in fact you might meet me there =)

Justo al Gusto is my favorite restaurant in Los Cabos, is located behind the hotel El tesoro in Cabo San Lucas, on the marina side, it offers Mexican food, I specially enjoy eating a Cazuela or Molcajete wich have meat, chicken, and well… it is something you definitely you have to try.

The enviroment is great kind of romantic in the night, the music is smooth with ballads in Spanish and English (mostly in Spanish) and almost every night there’s a musician playing sweet music. The deserts are great and some of them are prepared next to your table so you can see the process.

The view to the marina draws beautiful sunsets for you, the price is not to expensive for Cabo and the service is really great, everyone treats you so good and they speak very good english so you won’t have any problems, when you come to Los Cabos make sure you visit this great restaurant, Justo al Gusto my absolutely favorite restaurant in Los Cabos.
