About Tequila

John — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:17:01 +0000

What is tequila? It is an agave-based spirit made in, you guessed it, the Tequila region in Mexico. The region surrounding Tequila has volcanic soil that is ideal for growing the blue agave, which is cactus-like. Tequila is regulated, and U.S. and Mexican law says that tequila can be produced anywhere in Mexico, not only in the Tequila region.

History of Cabo San Lucas

John — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:33:39 +0000

It is believed that humans first came to the southern end of the Baja California peninsula 14,000 years ago. When the first Europeans arrived, the Pericu were there, living a subsistence diet. A fishing village began to develop there in the early 20th century. The warm waters, beautiful beaches and abundant sport fish motivated Mexican and foreign tourists to vacation there, especially after the Mexican government created the infrastructure for tourist development in the 1970s.
