Baja California
Welcome To Bajacalifornia
The state of Baja California is one of the most romantic destinations in all of Mexico, with beaches, mountain scenery and delicious cuisine to enjoy by a couple. The San Ysidro garita in San Diego, California, connects the United States with Mexico entering the cosmopolitan Tijuana. This crossing is the busiest land border in the world!
Baja California is also known for its beaches, mainly for Rosarito, as well as for the wines that are made in the Valle de Guadalupe, near Ensenada, and for the vineyard landscapes worthy of photography.
You cannot go from Baja California without sampling the dishes of the baja med cuisine, which mixes oriental ingredients with Mexican seasoning and a touch of Mediterranean cuisine. Do not forget to stop by the Chinese restaurants of Mexicali, whose originality lies in the fusion of the Cantonese and Mandarin style with the local flavors.
