Set around a gracefully curving bay just to the north of Mexico, San Diego is the second most populous city in California – affluent and libertarian, but also easygoing, friendly and very laid back. It combines old-fashioned Mexican charm with the addition of a contemporary and modern edge. With stunning long white beaches, year round sunny weather, the world famous San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, and the museums and science centers found in beautiful Balboa Park, it’s the perfect place to get away for a bit of relaxation or stimulation.
