San Jose is a relaxed traditional Mexican town graced by its idyllic main plaza, the old Mission dating back to 1730’s and the historical Hacienda-style buildings housing colorful galleries. The art galleries of San Jose tend to be concentrated on two main streets that traverse the main sections of town. During the months of November through June, every Thursday an event called the Walking Art takes place in which all of the galleries are open to display their artwork. Several offer appetizers and wine in a lively atmosphere. If you have a Thursday open during your vacation, don’t make other plans and come and join us for this graceful event organized by the Galleries. Our experienced bilingual guides will skillfully introduce you to the intricacies of this great cultural magnet known as the Art District of San Jose.
After the tour, prepare to enjoy a succulent dinner at one of the most popular restaurants in town. Top Mexican chefs are known for their ability to take the simple ingredients and transform them into works of art. These masters reinterpret pre-Hispanic dishes using modern techniques and new ingredients in a style called "Alta Cocina" (High Mexican Cuisine).
