Talk of the Town
Luxury Avenue Presents Oscar Ortíz and Elisa Salas
The high-end shopping center in downtown Cabo San Lucas has become a destination not only for shoppers but also art lovers. This winter, it launched its 10th exhibition, which presented the works of photographer Oscar Ortíz—the man behind popular activities company Cabo Expeditions—and Elisa Salas, who brought her “Exposicion itinerante: Colección de caligramas” (“Traveling Exhibition: Collection of Calligrams”). Ortíz is known for his nature photography, and his collection was quite rightly called “To the Wild I Go to Find My Humanity.” Salas, on the other hand, presented works that blend digital art, social media literature, and color theory. Pieces are displayed throughout Luxury Avenue, and you can see the works now through April 23. For more information, visit www.luxuryavenue.com.

Jasha Spa Offers Discount for Locals
Tucked inside the luxurious JW Marriott Los Cabos, Jasha Spa channels pre-Hispanic México with its use of healing herbs and organic ingredients as well as its ancient Tamazcal ritual.

And, for a limited time, guests who reside in Los Cabos can enjoy a 20 percent discount. Some restrictions do apply. To learn more, call (624) 105-3000.
Pez Gato Debuts Full-Face Snorkel Mask
Few local companies have enjoyed so much success as Pez Gato, which debuted as the first tour boat excursion in Los Cabos in 1985. California fireman Paul Murphy brought the Hawaiian-style catamaran to Médano Beach. A lot has changed since then, but locals and tourists continue to turn to Pez Gato for its excellent tours. In 2006, the fleet grew to include Tropicat and its now-famous wine and jazz tour. And, in 2008, the company launched Cabo Mar, a 65-foot double-decker catamaran that’s home to the popular fiesta dinner cruise. Most recently, Pez Gato debuted Los Cabos’ only full-face snorkel mask for its daily snorkel cruise. Learn more and make your reservations at www.pezgato.com.
New Restaurant Introduces Indian Food to Los Cabos
The Los Cabos restaurant continues to grow more exciting, especially with the debut of Namaste, the Indian Kitchen. The downtown Cabo San Lucas restaurant opened last fall, introducing Indian food to the region. Favorite dishes include chicken curry and Shrimp Dry (prepared shrimp in tomato gravy). Namaste also offers catering for up to 100 people. For more information, visit its Facebook page: www.facebook.com/NamasteIndiaCabo.
