We have run this course with students in the past and we always have a lot of fun interacting with the locals. We’ll help you to make any purchases or enquiries you have while guiding you through the market so you don’t miss out on anything.  

The price includes 4 teacher hours and transportation from the school to the market and return and one snack and drink at the market.

San Jose Saturdays 9am to 1pm

San Jose del Cabos is teeming with so many talented local artists that you might feel genuinely overwhelmed by the seemingly endless number of galleries to explore. To combat this, every Thursday evening 5PM to 9PM during the high season (November to June) 16 certified galleries located in San Jose's Art District (Obregon, Morelos, Guerrero and Comonfort streets), open their doors to visitors to showcase their artworks. This event is known as the San Jose Art Walk. This event attracts a lot of local and international art enthusiasts alike due to the high quality of art set in a wonderfully sophisticated environment. 

We here at Spanish In Cabo think it’s best for students and visitors to enjoy the San Jose Art Walk with a guide. Then you’ll not only see high quality paintings, sculptures, jewellery, intricate Huichol beadwork, amber and local handicrafts; but you’ll understand the meaning behind each piece, while learning about the evolution of Mexican art and culture with a local. 

We’ll also use this opportunity to, of course, practice and improve our Spanish vocabulary in a relaxing setting, strolling from gallery to gallery, asking questions to the curators and sometimes even the artist themselves about their work. So why not come along with us and enjoy a lovely evening learning more about Mexican art and culture? You will get a chance to practice your Spanish with a teacher close by to support you. 

Please note that the San Jose Art Walk member galleries include: La Dolce Art, La Sacristia, Patricia Mendoza Gallery, Corsica, Bruno Pegoretti, Mata Ortiz, Dharmesh Anand, Casa Dalhia, El Armario, Muvezi, Ivan Guadarrama, Old Town, Ida Victoria, Intagrafia, Plaza Paulina and Frank Arnold. If you have another gallery that you’d like to visit, just let us know and we can arrange to make a detour to suit your interests.

3 hours from 5.30PM to 8.30PM every Thursday night. 

Students meet at the San Jose school.

Looking for some afternoon fun with (or without) the kids that’ll keep both adults and ninos entertained? Our arts and crafts teachers can help you to create your very own Catrina doll while learning some basic Spanish vocabulary.  What are traditional Catrina dolls? You probably know about “The Day of the Dead” celebrations in Mexico which celebrates the deaths of ancestors. The festivities, which arguably date back 2,500-3000 years ago, were dedicated to the goddess known as the "Lady of the Dead", which corresponds to the modern La Calavera Catrina. 

José Guadalupe Posada created a famous print of a figure he called La Calavera Catrina ("The Elegant Skull") as a parody of a Mexican upper-class female. Posada's striking image of a costumed female with a skeleton face has become associated with the Day of the Dead, and Catrina figures and dolls often are a prominent part of modern Day of the Dead observances.

So come along and learn about Mexican art history and culture while making your very own Catrina doll to take home with you. You’ll hear all instructions in Spanish and our teacher will guide you through relevant vocabulary and phrases used in a classroom setting. 

Two hours

Cabo San Lucas School every Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1.30PM to 3.30PM.

If you want to learn how to Salsa like a professional while increasing your Spanish vocabulary with a professional instructor then this is the course for you!

You’ll hear all of the instructions in Spanish, and you’re encouraged to ask questions back in Spanish to practice what you learnt in class.
