More information on Festival of St. James

Credited with bringing Catholicism to Mexico, St. James the Apostle is described through legends as a magical man who rides a white horse. The parades and festivities held in Cabo reflect the wonder still felt by the people for this patron saint of Spain. Look for riders mounted on white horses in the parades and re-enacted battlefield skirmishes staged at the town square around dusk. The parades begin in the afternoon and are followed by closed shops and street parties swelling from the cantinas.

Traveler Photos of Cabo San Lucas

Land's End: assorted rock formations at the end, including the Arch. Lovers beach. Behind those rocks starts the Pacific Ocean. Catch of the day. Turned out te be a pretty poisenous fish... what we learned just after the dive... Mexican dive instructors! Land's End: the Arch.
