We checked out the Artwalk in San Jose del Cabo the day after we visited a brand new funky restaurant called Acre .
On Thursdays, San Jose del Cabo’s cultural district, framed by the beautiful calm streets and the colonial buildings was host to an exciting evening Artwalk.
In the streets behind the Church, you will find a corridor full of culture and art galleries. Those galleries gather the 
work of Mexican and International artists, some renowned, some other are new talents, but certainly you will find a lot of exquisite pieces of art, combining very different techniques, materials and styles, so whether you are an art connoisseur, an art lover, or just curious about what is going on there, the Art District is a must thing to visit when you go to San José del Cabo.
Cultural Extravaganza
The best time to visit is during the Art Walk. Art Walks are scheduled for every Thursday from 5 to 9 pm, from November to June. During this time, the streets with the galleries become traffic-free and become completely walking streets. Then you can go through all the galleries, you can go inside each one of them and listen what is it about, what kind of art they provide and many of the artists are there, to let the visitors know about their work, their vision and to let them understand what their art represents.
When we visited, there was a live band doing Cuban music on the street corner. Knowing it was a busy night we made a reservation at Mi Casa right in the heart of the art district.
You can find paintings, photography, lithography, sculptures, pottery and ceramics, letterpress, jewelry, among many other materials and techniques that you just must see.
