Tijuana

Tijuana is located on the U.S.A. border. It is one of the busiest border crossings in the world, with more than 29 million crossings per year. It is a shopper's paradise, with many malls and individual stores, and it has duty-free status. With a population of more than one million, it is fast becoming a metropolis. The traffic can be congested. Gone are the 'Sin City' days. Tijuana offers many activities for the tourist, including dog races, bull fights, rodeos, cultural events, and maybe soon, gambling casinos.

CLIMATE:

Tijuana's climate is like San Diego's, which is nearly perfect.
