| San
Diego California has established itself as a leader in scientific
research and as a near perfect place to live, retire, do business
or visit as a tourist! Its year-round benign climate would probably
be enough to lure some people, but add to that its historic attractions,
the Balboa Park complex (including museums and the world-famous
San Diego Zoo), San Diego hotels, beaches, Sea World and its proximity
to Tijuana create an almost irresistible combination.
The most
southern city in California, San Diego is bordered on the west by
the blue Pacific which imparts a warm, dry climate that delights
residents and visitors with glorious sunrises over the mountains
to the east and incredible sunsets over the Pacific to the west.
A legacy of Spanish place names, graceful architecture, and a relaxed
life style reflect San Diego's pride in its past.
The interior,
or back country, holds a wealth of surprises, ranging from the impressive
Wild Animal Park to the old-fashioned mining village of Julian.
The City of San Diego, home to the Chargers and the Padres, is the
6th most populous city in the US with a population 1,197,676. San
Diego County with a population of over 2,720,906 has an economy
bigger than Portugal or Israel. |
