A message from the publisher Summer is upon us and our Los Cabos population is changing, as it does every year around this time.  Snowbirds are flying north, thankful for spending the last four or five months in Cabos’ wonderful warm winter days and comfortable cool nights.  Conversely, families and young people are taking advantage of their vacation time and coming for summer’s fun in the sun.  Things are always dynamic in Los Cabos. If this is your first visit here, you’ll surely notice all the road construction that creates safer and more driver-friendly maneuvering along the corridor, on the road to Todos Santos, and through town.  If you are a returning visitor, you’ll talk about the progress of resort expansion, new stores, more restaurant openings, pedestrian plazas, and choice housing developments, all of which will tempt you to stay.  If you’re a resident, the changes will be regarded as an indicator of growth in the local economy and as a benefit for Cabeños, even though some naysayer may grumble about the area’s boom. This issue of Los Cabos Magazine has fascinating articles about real estate and some estimated costs for a month’s budget, and an interesting piece about how to increase the value of your home using the “greenest” methods to landscape.  There’s plenty inside to awaken the romance in all of us as you read about Cabo bliss.  You’ll discover where to find music that goes right to the heart, restaurants that suit any mood, and how to find seclusion and serenity while you are here. We love it here in Los Cabos, and bid welcome to the world to come fall in love with it, too. Salud, dinero y amor – y tiempo para disfrutarlo.* *Health, Love and Wealth - and the time to enjoy them.
