Lonely Planet review

San José's central plaza is far more traditional than anything found in San Lucas. In the evening, tourists mill around, local families wander down with the kids, and the plaza turns into a small kickball-court-cum-tricycle-track, with oblivious wandering toddlers thrown in for suspense. On weekends, bands (for better or worse) take to the stage.

The plaza is surrounded by colorful, historical buildings and anchored by the Iglesia San José, an imposing replica of the original mission church. Note the mosaic above the front portal depicting a 1734 local indigenous uprising.
