Movie Review: La Última Oportunidad This Thursday evening I had the opportunity of attending the premiere screening of “La Última Oportunidad” a Mexican rom-com that, despite taking place in Mexico City, came to life in Los Cabos. Synopsis: Vanesa (Jeniffer Flores) is a 25 years old woman that decides to give herself a “last chance” to find the love of her life. After many failed attepts she realizes that the problem is her, not those around her. Love is whre she expect it the least,  but she is afraid. After many dificulties she decides to finaly face her ghost and tries to build a relationship whit someone she wasn’t expecting. La Última Oprtunidad is the first movie of director Rodolfo Palacios, an under-budget film shot through the pandemic that serves as the first showcase for most of its cast. The movie reflects the rushed and chaotic production, there are scenes out of focus and audio problems that become jarring when trying to follow the story. One has to assume those problems only make it to the final product when you have no otter choice, no second take, no chance for re-shoots, but it feels wrong to excuse these kinds of […]

Mexico’s film industry has been growing in the last few years, but most of it seems to revolve around the same faces and the same places, “La Última Oportunidad” promises to bring new faces, and portray a story that with its own tricks and twist. The authorities present focused on the importance of supporting local productions, seeing this movie as an opportunity to help the Los Cabos film industry by showing how supporting the local businesses can be as well as the vast talent hidden in the destination.

No bad days in Cabo. Every day a repeat, every day the same sun, the same wind, the same heat. The seasons pass with inescapable ease, the shorter days and colder dreams of winter open pass to the sharp spring sunlight. Here I awake and from a balcony, I feel the soothing wind. I’ve seen the morning air covered by a thick foggy veil. I’ve seen ferocious obscure clouds move through the sky and cover the city. I’ve seen the rain that comes after transforming the main streets into dangerous rivers. And then, as in a repetitive children’s tail, a cliché cuts through my uncalled cynicism. The sun shines through. The same sun. Silver linings cover the horizon. The same wind. Clouds and fog disappear becoming no more than a passing memory. The same heat. Rivers turn into humid concrete.   No Bad Days, is the slogan of Cabo San Lucas. A common sight in a windshield sticker. As the months pass and Cabo becomes my home I’m left reflecting on this phrase, this loaded promise. Every day may feel the same, every walk as trying, every evening as sunny. With the peace of the sun coming out that promise […]

Surrounded by traditional food, this Sunday, April 3rd, the Los Cabos community had a glance at the past and future of events in the region. After years of forced quiet Los Cabo’s voice slowly raises, and calls the world to once more come and rejoice. Upon entering Doña Pame’s restaurant one is met by a peaceful garden, capturing and displaying the face of rural areas in the region, embracing it, making it the main attraction.   A few local artists proudly show their work, welcoming you as you cross the door into the party. The peace fills a little garden surrounded by the few who are still gathering the will to start the celebration in themselves. In the early spring light, you can see the peace of many breakfasts taking place here, meanwhile, in the back, an old stone furnace evokes hundreds of cold nights with a traditional cup of coffee.   And as people enter, they keep walking, guided towards a sand path inviting you to see what’s behind. Loose sand forces you to descend slowly, to be wary of your steps, and at your own pace, face this land’s food and people. The Food of Los Cabos filled […]

Your day is ending,  you came from far away, rushing to relax, eager to rest, waiting to do. Yet the time keeps ticking away, the sun is getting low, what are you doing now? Why not go for a walk? La Marina is a place you’ll probably going to meet during your visit to Los Cabos –if you don’t know it already. A large corridor from where you are going to sail. Everyone Does. Hundreds of boats for thousands of people. From short trips to the arch and back to long fishing journeys and whale watching, and everything in between, spending vacations in Los Cabos is to step into the waters of its coast, and walk on La Marina.   In a pathway of roughly 3-4 kilometers, one gets to see the many faces of Los Cabos, one walks beside restaurants filled with the heat of live music, many a local artisan offering their bits of work, artists hosting little exhibitions for the curious who wonder, sailors, going up and down as they move from one job to the other, salesmen fighting for your attention, trying to get you to stay yes, making their best effort to get you into […]
