Our Recipe for A Grown Up Spring Break

Instead of buying a souvenir sombrero…pick up a handmade necklace:
Ignore the beachside vendors peddling factory-produced ponchos and wrestling masks and opt for one of Arte Iraca’s one-of-a-kind macramé pieces. For seven years Flavia Pozzi and Facundo Ullmann have been making their intricate precious stone necklaces, pendants, and cuffs coach outlet online, which are so labor-intensive that some take three days to finish

Instead of endless tequila shots…sip on an all-natural juice:
The Saturday morning hotspot—at least, among locals—is the Cabo San Lucas farmers’ market. In addition to homemade tamales coach outlet online, fresh seafood, and crates overflowing with ripe produce, there’s Penny Lane Café, a bustling, mostly organic eatery whose “Jump Start” juice (a refreshing blend of apple, orange, celery, carrot, and ginger), is the perfect antidote to a late-night at El Squid Roe.

Instead of spending an afternoon tanning on the beach…take a Temazcal steam bath:
Leave behind the raucous partiers stationed downtown with a visit to Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort & Spa, a desert-zen retreat tucked away on its own spit of land facing the Pacific Ocean. The award-winning Armonia Spa offers ocean-side massages coach outlet online, but for an authentic Mexican experience try the Temazcal steam bath, which promises to cleanse the body of toxins. If you do opt to lounge in the sun—and forget to re-apply the sunscreen—the spa can help with that, too; the After Sun Tepezcohuite Body Treatment soothes scorched skin.

The spring break party-‘til-you-puke mentality may be waning (or at least when there are cameras around, if the New York Times is to believed), but the desire to escape from frosty locales and cut loose for a week is one that never goes away. In fact, if there were any group that most needed a mid-season break from the daily grind, it would be those who have long since graduated.
