We wrapped up our time in Baja with three nights in San José del Cabo. While Cabo San Lucas (a 30-minute drive away) is the well-known resort destination and party city, San José del Cabo is a much calmer, artsy place. (Much more our speed, really.)

We stayed on the edge of the arts district and loved it. Pretty much all of our time these few days was spent walking through that district.

This little coffee shop was right next to our hotel and became a favorite breakfast spot.
