Cobbled streets, colonial architecture, and a sky filled with
colorful Mexican garlands, all frame the picture that is
San Jose del Cabo’s Downtown. Nowadays, this sector
of the city is the very center of many trendy galleries, delightful
restaurants, and curious shops surround the Mission San José de
Anuiti, founded in 1730. This beautiful architecture towers over
the historic centro at the front of the main square where many of
the attractions occur.
“In 1996 the increasing
popularity of Los Cabos and
local artists rose, therefore, they
felt the urge to share their talent
and work with visitors and locals
alike”
In 2009 El Jardin del Arte (The Art Garden)
was officially inaugurated by a group of
local artists that started to bring their
works to the Historic Plaza Mijares (San
Jose del Cabo main square). La Casa
de la Cultura (The House of Culture)
opened its doors offering art workshops,
theater plays, folklore dance, and many
other cultural and artistic expositions,
creating an art revolution. To this day,
the movement has a powerful drive that
doesn’t seem to stop.
The Galleries Walk-through
became a must do activity in
Los Cabos when…
12 International gallery owners had the
idea to sponsor a Galleries Route to be
walked- through, soon it became an event
that takes place every week during the
peak season for everyone to enjoy!
This event grew exponentially over the
weeks. The local authorities eventually
had to close the streets for visitors to walk
peacefully while enjoying the art, music,
food, or to gather for a glass of wine / beer
among the artists and locals.
The official day The Galleries
Walk-through takes place is:
Thursdays, from 5pm to 9pm.
