SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO NAMED A "MAGICAL NEIGHBORHOOD"
August 1, 2024
Twelve neighborhoods around the country have recently been named “Barrios Mágicos” (Magical Neighborhoods), including the first in Baja California Sur, San José del Cabo’s historic center. At the Tianguis Internacional de Pueblos Mágicos, held in San Antonio, Texas, Miguel Torruco Marqués from the Department of Tourism (Sectur) gave the following additional neighborhoods the “Barrio Mágico” designation: La Estación in Aguascalientes, Ojo de Agua in Coahuila, Colima Capital in Colima, Tenayuca-Santa Cecilia in Estado de México, Tetelcingo in Morelos, Bellavista in Nayarit, San Francisco “El Origen” in Puebla, San Francisco Anbanica in Querétaro, Paseo del Ángel in Sinaloa, Victoria in Tamaulipas, and Mexicapan in Zacatecas.
As Torruco Márques said, “there are cultural, adventure, and nature destinations that can be found all across the country — Mexico’s tourism offerings are innumerable.” Barrios Mágicos are iconic neighborhoods in cities across the country that capture and reflect the spirit and essence of their cities, as well as being full of tradition, charm, and mysticism.
Baja California Sur has three “Pueblos Mágicos” (Magical Towns), a similar designation that is given to towns that exemplify the traditions and colors of a particular region: Santa Rosalía, Loreto, and Todos Santos. Now, the historic downtown of San José del Cabo—a neighborhood that is full to the brim of tradition, color, history and artistic expression—joins their ranks, further solidifying the state of Baja California Sur as one of the best tourist destinations in the country.
