its proximity to Mexico's border city of Tijuana. Spreading from the coast
to the desert, the scenery includes cliffs, hills, mesas, canyons and valleys.The
city hovers around one of California's greatest natural harbours.This ideal
location has been a dominant factor in determining the city's history,
economy and development. |
