San José del Cabo ((:san xo'se ðel 'kaβo), ''Saint Joseph of the Cape'') is a city located in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur, and is the seat of the municipality of Los Cabos at the south end of Baja California Sur. In the 2010 census, it had a population of 69,788. Together with neighboring Cabo San Lucas, it forms a major tourist destination for travelers, with over 900,000 hotel guests in 2011. The two cities are served by Los Cabos International Airport. The Mission San José del Cabo was founded in 1730; the nearby Río San José was useful to the Spanish as a source of fresh water for galleons traveling to and from the Philippines.〔Encyclopædia Britannica, Second edition, 1778, Edinburgh, page 1580.

( Review of the ''Oryzomys couesi'' complex (Rodentia: Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae) in Western Mexico ). Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 331:94–127.〕 ==Climate== San José del Cabo, like almost all of the Baja California peninsula, has an arid climate (Köppen ''BWh'') although it does receive more rainfall than most areas further north due to tropical cyclones occasionally coming in from the south and bringing very heavy falls such as on the first of September 1998 and on 3 November 1993. Overall, however, rainfall is some of the most erratic anywhere in the world due to this influence, and many years pass by without significant falls at all. The sea experiences lows of 72–73 °F (22–23 °C) in winter, and highs of 77–84 °F (25–29 °C) during the summer months.〔http://www.myweather2.com/City-Town/Mexico/San-Jose-Del-Cabo/climate-profile.aspx?month=12〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San José del Cabo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
