One of my favourite things about our
Christmas trip to Mexico was the Art Walk in San José del Cabo. The event runs every Thursday evening from November to
June in this resort city on the southern tip of the
Baja California peninsula.
The area surrounding the Plaza Mijares is closed to
traffic from 5 to 7 pm, and the many galleries and cafes expand into the streets. The galleries offer a wonderful variety of
works from traditional silver jewelry with fire opals, to Talavra
pottery, colourful
weaving, paintings and Huichol art ranging from religious traditional themes to
the most recent innovations in folk art.
And of course, brilliant Christmas decorations are everywhere. Who knew that Mexican Nativity scenes often feature a small herd of deer?
