Baja California Mexico - Travel and Vacation Guide

For most residents of the southwestern United States, Mexico is just a few hours or, at most, a day's journey away. It is not at all unusual for a family to run down from San Diego to Baja for a spur of the moment shopping spree. La Frontera (Mexico's border) is often the first and only impression many Norteamericanos have of Mexico. Because of the concentration of visitors along the border, many Mexican border areas are a strange mixture of elements. Unique and atypical of the rest of Mexico, the towns and villages near the border provide a gradual transition to the Mexico that awaits those smitten with greater curiosity.
