With superb beaches, diverse activities, great shopping, fine dining and exuberant nightlife, Cabo San Lucas is a fun destination for every family member. Twenty miles nor theast, San José del Cabo is an authentic Mexican mission town founded in 1730, with a charming downtown of restored colonial homes and a lovely historic church. Relaxed and easy going, San José is known for fine dining, boutiques and galleries, and Plaza Mijares, where many festivals and celebrations are held year ‘round. Nearby, the San José Estuar y is a tranquil sanctuar y of towering palm groves, migrating birds and a sea tur tle nurser y. Between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, the 20–mile–long Tourist Corridor winds through spectacular scenery, endless beaches, secluded bays, and championship golf courses. The Corridor’s luxurious hotels and resor ts are among the world’s finest, where you’ll enjoy relaxing in our very special corner of the world. In Los Cabos, fishing, boating, water spor ts and adventure tours are all popular pastimes. Los Cabos is the gateway to the Sea of Cor tés, called the “world’s aquarium” by Jacques Cousteau. A live seven–finger coral reef at Cabo Pulmo on the East Cape and the towering Sierra de La Laguna range are two national parks not to be missed by nature lovers. Los Cabos is indeed a treasure, where our rich history, our stunning natural beauty and our warm Cabeño hospitality combine to make your time with us an unforgettable memory.

Jacarandas, Cabo San Lucas, BCS México, 23410. ISSUE NUMBER NINETEEN Publisher/Editor Joseph A. Tyson Copy Editors Karen Knight, Kirstin Frieze, Sandra Berry from the publisher I would like to personally welcome you to Los Cabos, the Monte Carlo of North America, and introduce you to some of the very best that the Baja of Mexico has to offer. Travelers from all over the world depend on Los Cabos Magazine to find the top dining, entertainment, shopping and funfilled attractions that our communities have to offer. We are eager to share with you the best information possible to make your stay fun and enjoyable in the upcoming year. As we begin 2009, we are excited about the growth of our tourist industry, and the major improvements to the infrastructure, which will enhance and reconfirm Cabo San Lucas as a major tourism arena. We are further happy to announce many new improvements to the airport, reaching a satisfactory solution to the transportation challenges of the past year, and supporting the continual efforts of making Los Cabos an even more beautiful and safe place to be. Par Vial, the name given to the major road construction in Cabo San Lucas, will also be finalized in 2009. It will include the revamping of city streets, utility services, and the installation of green districts, plazas and garden areas. During 2008, we saw improvements to the commercial areas of Los Cabos International Airport, the 6th most vital airport in Mexico and the most important airport in all of Baja. During 2009, we will witness the commencement of a new fixed base operation (FBO) for private aircraft, the new mega Terminal 4, and we look forward to hosting over 3 million passengers as they pass through its terminals during the coming year. There’s no doubt that the world has been through a difficult financial time, but like most people, I look forward to a prosperous and productive new year. Most importantly, my personal new year’s resolution is to take a moment every day to be grateful for all that Los Cabos has to offer. I also hope that the year ahead will bring happiness and good health to you and your families. Enjoy your visit to Los Cabos. Stay a little bit longer, return often, and enjoy our paradise. ¡BIENVENIDOS! Contributing Writers Sandra Berry, Carol S.
