Artisan shops, bars, galleries and restaurants sit next to architectural landmarks around this square, the heart of the historic district of this resort city.

Plaza Mijares is the lively and picturesque central square of San José del Cabo and a great place to begin your tour of the city. Decorated with trees, monuments and striking buildings, the plaza is a setting for cultural events such as concerts and dance performances. Visit Plaza Mijares to experience a place where locals meet to chat, children play games and tourists come to appreciate the city’s colonial charm.

An elegant bandstand occupies the center of the square. Climb the steps and then watch the action unfold before you while being sheltered from the hot sun. A huge Mexican flag is raised at the flagpole every day.

On the east side of the square is the Jardin de los Cabeños Ilustres, which is a memorial to notable citizens of Los Cabos. It features seven busts, including that of the Mexican military hero José Antonio Mijares.

Pay a visit to San José del Cabo Church, a pretty religious landmark recognizable for its symmetrical facade and twin bell towers. A mosaic that portrays the assassination of a Jesuit friar is set above the main entrance. Also of architectural interest is the Palacio Municipal, a low-rise building with a central bell and clock tower.

Enjoy people watching from the comfort of a bench and at the outdoor seating area of a bar or restaurant. Browse boutiques for made-to-order opal jewelry pieces and purchase souvenirs from curios shops. Street vendors sell balloons and gifts for children. Come in December when a Christmas tree lights up the square and there is a model representation of the nativity of Jesus.

Plaza Mijares is a short walk from other major city attractions such as the San José del Cabo Art District. The Zona Hotelera is 1.9 miles (3 kilometers) to the south. Drivers can park for free on the streets of the historic district. Connecting with the square is Calle Boulevard Antonio Mijares, another good option for dining and shopping.
