Mother’s Day in Mexico always falls on May 10, no matter what day of the week as opposed to Mother’s Day in the US that falls on the second Sunday in May.  In Mexico Mother’s Day is celebrated in high fashion.  According to custom daughters and sons make themselves present on the eve of Mother’s Day, May 9.  Children honor their mothers and thank them for their efforts in raising them.

May 10^th is celebrated in a grand style as churches organize special mass services.  The highpoint of the event is when “las Mañanitas” is played.  Tamales and atole, the traditional morning meal, are distributed to all mothers.

Flowers and cards are commonly given to mothers as well as giving of gifts. Older children purchase gifts from the store while younger children prepare handmade gifts for their mothers.  Most schools have mother’s day events where the children perform skits and songs to express thanks for their mothers.

One of our favorite road trips when friends come to visit us is going to Todos Santos.  Named “Pueblo Magico” in 2006, Todos Santos is a small coastal town at the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur.  It is about a 45 minute drive along a winding 2 lane highway through the desert and along the coast with a number of places to stop and enjoy the Pacific Ocean.  Todos Santos is near the Tropic of Cancer and about an hour south of La Paz, the capital city of Baja California Sur.

Todos Santos thrived as the Baja sugarcane capital during the 19^th century.  Now the rich farmlands have been cultivated and the town prospers from an abundance of avocado, vegetable and chili farming, papaya and mango orchards, fishing and ranching.

Nuestra Señora del Pilar de La Paz is a mission that was founded in 1723 by father Jaime Bravo.  The mission contains the statue of the Virgin of Pilar, which is a focus of the town’s main festival in October.

The area offers a number of beautiful beaches.  Playa Las Palmas and Playa Los Cerritos are great for swimming and shell collecting.  Cerritos draws surfers from all over the world.

In town there are a number of art galleries, Mexican craft shops, restaurants, boutique hotels and restored colonial buildings.  Todos Santos is a great day trip from Cabo or if you prefer to spend more time we can help you with accommodations.
