‹ The story: It took me 30 years to get this garlic sauce
A day in Los Cabos, Mexico · Mexico
A day in Los Cabos, built around dinner at Misiones de Kino
The Cabo nobody gets around to: the Saturday organic market in San José del Cabo, lunch in the fields at Flora Farms, a water taxi out to the Arch, a margarita with your feet in the sand at Médano, then the garden in town where they grill the fish with garlic sauce.
The star is Misiones de Kino, the place from the story. Pins are numbered in order. A car day: San José del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas is about 35 minutes on the highway. Walk downtown Cabo at night.
