Tijuana

Tijuana , located right on the border with the US , until recently was a city with an exceptionally bad reputation. Anyway, she is known in pop culture from the song of the band Manu Chao. Who hasn't hummed the words: "Welcome to Tijuana, Tequila, sexo, marijuana"? But not only. About the city, and more specifically the journalists working for the local newspaper, there was a crime series titled simply "Tijuana".

There is also a theme of murder or prostitution, but the city has also faced other problems over the years, such as fights between drug cartels. So does it make sense to go to Tijuana and not risk your life or health? Basically yes. Tijuana has recently started to change. Pubs and restaurants have opened their doors again. The city is developing strongly in terms of culinary tourism . There is probably not much to explore here. However, a visit to Tijuana can undoubtedly be a very contrasting experience, especially when you choose to visit it from San Diego on the other side of the border.

For whom?

Do you like unusual places and are not very sensitive and timid? Then you may like Tijuana. It is rather an offer of places outside the main tourist routes . However, many Americans come here, for whom Mexican prices are much lower than what they have at home.
