Portrait of the Book
The Los Cabos of yesterday is the setting of this book. It is a time unknown for some and for others, forgotten. In a pleasant, clear and concise manner, the author invites all who live, study, work, visit and love this prodigious land to connect with its historical identity.
To read the events described in the pages is to relive them. For those who were not present, it is an opportunity to travel back to important moments in history and feel linked by the common past to these lands and seas.
