San Francisco

San Francisco is a major and bustling cosmopolitan city in California, surrounded by water on three sides, and the centerpiece of the Bay Area, well-known for its liberal community, hilly terrain, Victorian architecture, scenic beauty, summer fog, and great ethnic and cultural diversity. There is much to see: the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz island (once the most notorious prison in the world), Pier 39 on Fisherman´s Wharf, a lively bay area with shops, arcades, restaurants, cafés, fairground rides, ocean views and its own colony of sea lions, Lombard Street and the famous San Francisco cable cars, that run up and down the hills of San Francisco between Market Street and Fisherman´s Wharf, providing cheap and easy access to the whole of San Francisco. The Port is located in downtown San Francisco and offers many tourist attractions, including Hyde Street Pier, Fisherman´s Wharf, PIER 39 and access to Alcatraz.

Ensenada (Mexico)

This Mexican city near the international boundary with the United States, is overshadowed by its two major neighbors, Tijuana and San Diego. That is why it is known as the "Cinderella of the Pacific". But its favorable Mediterranean climate, its hospitable atmosphere and accessibility have made it a favorite destination for visitors of all nationalities, as well as the second most important cruise port of Mexico. Its quiet environment, its history, its rich flora, its fauna and natural beauty have made this city an ideal place for visitors. Other reasons are its diverse microclimates and attractive cultural life. In terms of accommodation, we can find the modern first class hotels suitable for leisure and business, as well as ideal places for lovers of adventure tourism and of the contact with nature.

San Diego (California)

San Diego is a large coastal city in California. Located on the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, it is home to 1.3 million citizens and is the second-largest city in the state. San Diego is home to the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy. It is also known for its ideal climate, impressive beaches, and several tourist attractions which include the SeaWorld theme park and the San Diego Zoo. The city sits just north of the Mexican border, across from Tijuana. Though a large city, San Diego has a slower paced atmosphere and when visiting, some may find it provides a soothing break from hustle and bustle.
