Talk of the Town
Here’s a quick look at the news that has Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, and the Tourist Corridor that connects them buzzing this week.
- The Baja International Film Festival has announced it will return to Los Cabos for a second year. The festival, which was founded in 2012, promotes and supports films and filmmakers from within Mexico, the United States, and beyond. Last year, festival attendees were treated to appearances by several A-list actors, including Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal, Matt Dillon, Edward Norton, and more. The festival will run November 13–16. To learn more, click here.
- The large open patio at the corner adjoining the popular Cabo San Lucas restaurant Hacienda El Coyote will be remade into an open-air bar. The bar will still be part of the larger Solmar project but no longer connected to Hacienda. It will be called the Tree Bar (in English) and will serve tapas. Owners expect the bar to be open by fall.
- The chic market-driven restaurant Corazon de Alcachofa is reportedly relocating to a space on the corner behind its sister restaurant, Chamuyo. The little gift shop that was on the corner has moved out, and Alcachofa will remodel that space. The move is expected to be completed before the fall season.
- The nonprofit San Lucas Bomberos volunteer firefighters have a designated driver service that provides transportation to and from parties. They also provide travelers planning to visit the beach with a fireman or lifeguard. The cost depends on the required amount of time and distance, but it is very affordable compared to a taxi. It is also a way to support the volunteer squad. Learn more by calling the station (624-143-3577) or the chief (624-125-7073).
