San Diego San Diego is a city in San Diego County, California. With its glorious coastline, almost all year round perfect climate, San Diego encapsulates the ultimate Californian beach city. The sandy beaches run for miles and with the friendly locals, San Diego is a place to be seen more than once. As California's second largest city the attractions go on, from the spectacular SeaWorld, to the natural animal environments of the renowned San Diego Zoo, to that of the Old Town, a perfectly preserved part of San Diego that retains its entire rich Spanish heritage from the 19th century, the Old West for one is something to be admired. |

San Diego, California & Las Vegas, USA Holiday Review - What's great about San Diego
Submitted by: Celia

San Diego is the place that we often heard of whenever California was mentioned so we decided to vacation there. That was a great decision especially since it was getting cold at home and the weather was great on the west coast. Because we were tourists we decided to do what tourists do and visit the most popular sights. At the top of our list was to Tijuana by Trolley. It was just as good as we envisioned it. We spent an entire day there shopping and looking around. The shops were full of hand crafted items, quality but smartly priced leather, and cigars. There was where I actually learned how to bargain and I convinced many a shopkeeper to reduce the price on the goods that I purchased. Other firsts for me was my first experience at a Greyhound race and at Jai Alai. What was funny is that we actually saw a real bull fight. I thought that you could only get those in Spain!!! Next we went to Old Town for Mexican food and history tours. Since we were on vacation, we went all out and took the San Diego Harbor Cruise. Fantastic. It took us away from the busy city and on to the water so see actual sea lions resting on buoys. For education and culture sake we took trips to the Balboa Parks and Museum and the San Diego Zoo. We found out why San Diego is popular.
