Avenida Revolucion is perhaps the area where this is most obvious. Located in the heart of Tijuana, this hybrid area showcases elements of both the American and Mexican cultures. This border city has long been linked with the economy and traditions of the United States via the neighboring city of San Diego. Tijuana offers a variety of attractions, including world-class restaurants, lively nightclubs, fascinating museums, colorful craft shops and modern shopping malls. You can also enjoy beautiful golf courses, beaches, bullfights, greyhound racing and many attractions that cannot be found in any other Mexican city. ROSARITO South of Tijuana and just 25 minutes away from the American city of San Diego is the town of Rosarito, where the main attractions are its beautiful beaches along with golf courses, spas and exciting nightlife. The town also has incredible sunsets, exquisite cuisine and an excellent climate that makes it ideal for year-round travel. Visitors can enjoy various water sports, cycling, horse-back riding and ATV tours or just relax on the oceanfront. 1 A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY Tijuana’s name comes from the union of the words “Tia” (aunt) and “Juana”, as this great city was once the home of Tia Juana, a celebrated early landowner who lived here during the nineteenth century. In 1848 when Mexico lost Alta California during the war with the United States, the Tijuana Valley became the location of the international boundary line. The fame of the vibrant city of Tijuana came into being in 1920, when prohibition laws in the United States forced drinkers from across the border to quench their thirst in Mexico. Mexican migrants from the interior of the country added to the population, as they sought to find jobs at the border or cross into the United States as laborers. 2 TIJUANA AND ROSARITO PROFILE A border city with a great flow of visitors and home of the busiest international border crossing in the world An excellent shopping destination, located near San Diego Famous for its vibrant nightlife Home to casinos and greyhound racing Just a short distance away from the beautiful Rosarito beaches An industrial city with dozens of factories 3 TIJUANA AND ROSARITO ATTRACTIONS Tijuana offers a great variety of fun and entertainment.

Its modern development is reflected in the Zona Rio (River Zone), which has wide tree-lined avenues framed by beautiful gardens. OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE CATHEDRAL Inaugurated in 1902 and raised to the status of a cathedral in 1964, this is the oldest church in Tijuana. Construction on the cathedral continued until it became the beautiful architectural wonder that is it today. AVENIDA REVOLUCION This famous avenue was built in 1889 and from the beginning has been popular with tourists shopping for handicrafts or those seeking out the city’s restaurants and entertainment venues. This noisy thoroughfare is busy throughout the day and night, and almost anything is permitted. During your visit, make sure you take the time to enjoy the warmth and friendliness of the people you meet on Tijuana’s most famous street. 4 TIJUANA CULTURAL CENTER Known as CECUT, this is the cultural emblem of the city thanks to the variety of artwork exhibited.

Due to Tijuana’s proximity to the United States, the best American ingredients have been added to those from northwest Mexico, resulting in unique Tijuana cuisine. Additional influences include French, Spanish and Italian, turning Tijuana into a true gourmet center. This cosmopolitan city is the birthplace of the world famous Caesar Salad, which was first created by Mr. Caesar Cardini at Hotel Caesar. Tijuana offers a diverse selection of cuisine, and you can visit many of the restaurants found in the main dining areas of the city: Agua Caliente, Sanchez Taboada and Paseo de los Heroes. 8 LOBSTER AND SEAFOOD IN ROSARITO This is traditionally served in the coastal area of Puerto Nuevo, Rosarito, an area that is better known as “lobster village”. Nearly one million exquisitely prepared lobsters are prepared each year, providing visitors with the perfect balance of flavors. During your visit, make sure you try the succulent local dish “butter-fried lobster” served with beans, rice and tortillas. Rosarito’s fish and seafood is famous for its freshness and is used in both pre-Hispanic dishes and sophisticated international cuisine. There are plenty of options to suit all budgets and tastes. WINE AND BEER IN TIJUANA Another fantastic gastronomic attraction of this destination is its renowned wines, famous not only in Mexico but throughout the world. The Wine Route is less than an hour away from Tijuana and it’s where the best Mexican wines are produced in vineyards like Santo Tomas, Casa Bibayoff, Chateau Camou, Casa de Dona Lupe and Monte Xanic, to mention just a few. Tijuana is also famous for its beer, including the Tecate and Mexicali brands as well as craft beers. 9 TIJUANA AND ROSARITO SHOPPING Tijuana has a long history as a shopping mecca due to its “tax-free” border status. The city has a variety of shopping malls, stores and markets that offer a variety of Mexican crafts. Without a doubt, the most traditional shopping area in Tijuana is the famous Avenida Revolucion. Boulevard Benito Juarez is the main street of Rosarito and it’s where you’ll find craft stores that sell genuine works of art from around the country, including pottery from Oaxaca, serapes from the State of Mexico, Guerrero silver and many other curiosities.

  • Lessons from San Diego's Border Wall
    RESEARCH REPORT (CBP Photo/Mani Albrecht) LESSONS FROM SAN DIEGO'S BORDER WALL The limits to using walls for migration, drug trafficking challenges By Adam Isacson and Maureen Meyer December 2017 " The border doesn’t need a wall. It needs better-equipped ports of entry, investi- gative capacity, technology, and far more ability to deal with humanitarian flows. In its current form, the 2018 Homeland Security Appropriations bill is pursuing a wrong and wasteful approach. The ex- perience of San Diego makes that clear." LESSONS FROM SAN DIEGO'S BORDER WALL December 2017 | 2 SUMMARY The prototypes for President Trump's proposed border wall are currently sitting just outside San Diego, California, an area that serves as a perfect example of how limited walls, fences, and barriers can be when dealing with migration and drug trafficking challenges. As designated by stomsCu and Border Protection, the San Diego sector covers 60 miles of the westernmost U.S.-Mexico border, and 46 of them are already fenced off. Here, fence-building has revealed a new set of border challenges that a wall can’t fix. The San Diego sector shows that: • Fences or walls can reduce migration in urban areas, but make no difference in rural areas. In densely populated border areas, border-crossers can quickly mix in to the population. But nearly all densely populated sections of the U.S.-Mexico border have long since been walled off. In rural areas, where crossers must travel miles of terrain, having to climb a wall first is not much of a deterrent. A wall would be a waste of scarce budget resources.

  • Designing and Establishing Conservation Areas in the Baja California-Southern California Border Region
    DRAFT • NOT FOR QUOTATION Designing and Establishing Conservation Areas in the Baja California-Southern California Border Region Michael D. White, Jerre Ann Stallcup, Katherine Comer, Miguel Angel Vargas, Jose Maria Beltran- Abaunza, Fernando Ochoa, and Scott Morrison ABSTRACT The border region of Baja California in Mexico and California in the United States is a biologically diverse and unique landscape that forms a portion of one of the world’s global biodiversity hotspots. While the natural resources of this border region are continuous and interconnected, land conservation practices on either side of the international boundary that bisects this area are quite different. These binational differences place certain natural resources, ecological processes, and wildlife movement patterns at risk of falling through the cracks of conservation efforts implemented in each country. Thus, effective conservation in this region requires binational cooperation with respect to conservation planning and implementation. This paper describes the differences in land conservation patterns and land conservation mechanisms between Baja California and Alta California (Southern California). The Las Californias Binational Conservation Initiative is discussed as a case study for binational cooperation in conservation planning. Diseñando y Estableciendo Áreas de Conservación en la Región Fronteriza Baja California-Sur de California Michael D. White, Jerre Ann Stallcup, Katherine Comer, Miguel Angel Vargas, Jose Maria Beltran- Abaunza, Fernando Ochoa, y Scott Morrison RESUMEN La región fronteriza de Baja California en México y California en los Estados Unidos es un paisaje único y biológicamente diverso que forma una porción de una de las zonas clave (hotspots) de biodiversidad global en el mundo. Mientras que los recursos naturales de esta región fronteriza son continuos e interconectados, las prácticas de conservación del suelo en ambos lados de la frontera internacional que divide en dos esta área son realmente diferentes.

  • I Am Leaving the U.S
    April 11, 2014 Password for the STANDARD Newsletter Archive is: PCAPP I AM LEAVING THE U.S. I went on a six day working vacation this past week to La Paz, Mexico. Guess whose boat was at the fuel dock down there? The answer in a minute. While there I overheard some Gringo’s talking about how they were fed up with the corporate life back in the states. He worked for Cisco, and she was a real estate agent in the Southern California area. They had plans for eventually leaving the U.S. behind and moving to Mexico permanently. 1 I have been going to Mexico since I was eight years old. I was fortunate to have a father who had the spirit of adventure, and a mother that was happy to tag along. We crossed the border almost every other Saturday to watch the horses run at Agua Caliente racetrack in Tijuana. My good mother would also make sure that I went to church the next day. Back then, I was busy inventing a system that would predict the final time that a horse would run. It was quite a formula. I was in my mid-teens at the time. I have been a number cruncher my entire life. Finally at the age of 19, I hit the pick six at Caliente. I had six straight winners using my system and I left the track with bundles of fifty dollar bills. I believe it added up to about $26,000 overall for a $16 bet. Caliente closed a few years later, but it sure left me with some good memories.
