The morning light bends over the Pacific as the air-conditioned van peels away from Cabo, the highway opening into low scrub and cactus. Within an hour and a half the pace shifts: palms give way to whitewashed facades, narrow streets, and the bell at the town church calling shoppers and gallery-goers alike. You step into Todos Santos with three hours to roam — a compact town where surf culture, artisans, and ranching history sit side by side.
