Introducing Northern Baja
Tijuana, Mexicali and Tecate form the northern border, also known as La Frontera (not the border line itself), which extends as far south as San Quintín. Dominicans established nine missions north of El Rosario from 1773 to 1821. Recently, the Ruta del Vino (between Ensenada and Tecate) has gained Napa Valley–like fame for its boutique, award-winning wines. Though northern Baja’s border cities and beaches are undeniably hedonistic, Tijuana and Mexicali are major manufacturing centers, and the area is a hot retirement spot for Canadian and US snowbirds.
