Los Cabos
)
Welcome to Los Cabos! Located on the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, Los Cabos is one of the most popular vacation destinations in North America today – especially between the months of May and October. This is a considerable development as until the late 20th century, the Los Cabos area was remote and rural. The main attractions are the climate and the stunning geography, where the desert meets the sea, along with sport fishing, resorts and golf. Our favorite store in this issue of Dufry World is located at the pinnacle of this fantastic destination. Located in the departures area of Terminal 2, the store, which was completely renovated last year, covers 1,725 m2 and offers all the main product categories. The store's strong sense of place has made its tequilería and local food section the store's main attraction. With a decoration reminiscent of the "Noche de muertos" (Day of the Dead) – one of the most popular celebrations in Mexican folklore – and its catrinas (elegantly dressed skeleton figures used as a symbol of the Day of the Dead), this store is the last – and perhaps the best – opportunity for the traveler to take a piece of this paradise back home with them in their suitcase.
