I had the wonderful opportunity to experience Cabo in January with dear friends and couldn’t wait to share it with my husband. April was our return trip, and it was even more special than before, as I could share some of my experiences with him whilst creating our own exploration in this vastly diverse and beautiful region of Baja California Sur.
From desert corridors to tropical deciduous forests dotted with exquisite resorts nestled in the coastline along the Pacific Ocean, the region is a feast for the soul.
Day tripping from our home base in Diamanté, just west of Cabo, beach towns and stunning countryside, to find art galleries, restaurants and amazingly skilled artisans sharing their passions around the square in Todos Santos; then back to Playa Los Cerritos to see surfer pilgrimages dotting the shoreline as we walked the beach enjoying our freshly squeezed margaritas.
One important thing to realize, the people of Baja Sur are wonderful, welcoming and eager to share their wonderful country with us. We so much enjoyed their hospitality and couldn’t wait to return.
Happily knowing that the next three days were filled with challenging and breathtaking golf vistas on the myriad courses we were to play during our stay, we realized only two things we needed to keep on schedule for: our tee times and dinner reservations.
Diamante, boasting two amazingly diverse courses, The Dunes, Davis Love III’s design, and El Cardonal, Tiger Woods’ design, were exceptional and challenging, leaving you wanting to play again and again. The courses are magnificent and the several “cantinas” along the course kept us well hydrated and satisfied with their handcrafted libations and local fare.
Enjoying the crisp cool air as the sun begins its final decent of the day, the waves seem to recognize this and present us with their most beautiful display of sea spray leaping off the translucent blue arch until its thunderous finish on shore leaving us with anticipation of the next wave …
My husband and I kick back and smile, as tomorrow, we get to do it all again.
