The proud Mexican flag welcomes over 1.2 million tourists a year to Los Cabos. These sun worshipers contribute nearly $1 billion annually to the municipality’s economy. This tricolor flag was first designed in 1821 when Mexico became independent from the Spanish Empire. In the center is the country’s coat of arms. It represents an Aztec vision that told them to establish a great city where they saw an eagle perched on a cactus eating a snake. Tenochtitlan was founded in 1325. It is now Mexico City.
