Addresses in Los Cabos

Many addresses in Mexico have "s/n" for sin número (no number) after the street name. This is common throughout Mexico, as is the practice of listing cross streets in an address. Similarly, many Cabo hotels give their address as "Carretera Cabo San Lucas-San José del Cabo, Km 19," which indicates that the property is at the 19th kilometer on the carretera (main highway) between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Some properties in the Corridor call the highway the "Corredor Turistico" or the "Carretera Transpeninsular," although this book refers to this road as Highway 1.

Other abbreviations used in addresses include the following: Av. (avenida, or avenue), Calz. (calzada, or road), Fracc. (fraccionamiento, or housing estate), and Int. (interior).

Addresses in Mexico are written with the street name first, followed by the street number. A five-digit código postal (C.P.; postal code) precedes, rather than follows, the name of the city. Apdo. (apartado) is short for box; Apdo. Postal, or A.P., means post-office box number.
