Boulevard Mijares, which connects the beach area to the Plaza Mijares, is the main street in Cabo. A popular tourist area, the Boulevard and Plaza feature numerous restaurants and many local souvenir and craft shops. While other tourist areas are updated and modern, this area is known for having retained its traditional Spanish Colonial look and feel. The Boulevard is a pretty, tree-lined area with colorful buildings and flowers, and it is a good place to go to do some shopping and to get a feel for the area. Don't miss the Church of St. Joseph, which was built in 1730, or the Palacio Municipal, built in 1891 - both are important historical sites. Spending time exploring the side streets is also recommended -- as visitors will often find a hidden shop or art gallery that's a bit off the beaten path.

The Hotel California is falsely rumored to be the subject of the famous Eagles song of the same name. Some even credit the Hotel California's connection to the Eagles song for having put Todos Santos on the map, though the growing art community is just as likely a cause for its evolving popularity.
