South of the Border - Alamos Music Festival

2011 we'll be celebrating our 16th year we’ve attended this magical event. You'll spend the first night at the classic Playa de Cortes property on Playa Bacochibampo. We celebrate our first evening sipping margaritas as another spectacular sunset passes before us on the Sea of Cortez.

For our time in Alamos we’ll stay at the charming Casa Encantada. Those looking for a relaxed pace to fully enjoy all that Alamos has to offer, will absolutely love this tour. There is a plethora of music throughout the day at various locations throughout town; the evening performances in the Grand Palacio are classical in nature. Highlights include: a traditional carne asada fiesta, Home and Garden Tour, private performance of the Estudiantina of Alamos, afternoon music in the Plaza del Armas, the “art walk” and evening performances in the Palacio followed by the Callejoneada- a strolling serenades a-la 11-12th century Spain. With a wine packed burro in tow, you’ll stroll the cobblestone streets with the Estudiantina and revelers singing songs of chivalry, love and happiness. It won’t matter if you understand Spanish, the surreal spectacle transcends language. You'll have opportunities to experience the Mayo, Yaqui, Seri, and other indegenous cultures though different events & workshops. Explore the historic "panteon" or cemetary. Enjoy afternoon hikes into the virgin tropical forest and incredible cultural and natural photo opportunities.
