Cabo Falso: El Faro del Fin de la Tierra ( The Lighthouse at the End of the Earth)
A history of Baja California Sur presented by Domingo Saiza Castro.
This site is in Spanish but has some good information and very nice old images.
“Cuando desde la plataforma arenosa del faro de Cabo Falso he visto su luminoso parpadeo perderse en la infinita superficie del mar, he pensado que sus haces de luz no son una señal de alerta, sino de acogida; no de temor, sino de esperanza. Creo que son como un signo que se enciende por las noches para avisar a todos los puntos de la rosa de los vientos; que hacia el norte, desde la tierra perfumada hasta los bastiones de la patria, a todo lo largo de un cuerpo de desierto, hay un otro México de bellezas, de promesas y de futuro” – Epilogo del libro “El otro México” de Fernando Jordán

Below is an older version of similar images.
Does anyone have any information about the image on the left above? This aerial view of Land’s End at Cabo San Lucas was found on the internet but I have not been able to exactly identify the date it was taken, the source of the image or the owner. Any information would be appreciated.
This is another version of the Land’s End image from the internet. This shows more of Medano Beach. Exact date taken and the source of the image or the owner is unknown.
