Tijuana, whose population continually fluctuates as people arrive from the United States and Latin America countries while others depart for the United States, is the largest Baja California city.

Ensenada, a port located on the Pacific coast, is a habitual stop for cruise ships. This is due to the fact that it is the only deep-water port in Baja California; the port also acts as the primary hub for importing and exporting goods throughout the region.

Baja California`s sports fans enjoy proximity to several professional teams: the basketball team called Mexicali Suns, the baseball team Mexicali Eagles, the other baseball team called the Tijuana Colts and the famous Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles soccer team. Therefore, Baja California is a Mecca for sports fans both locally and American fans north of the border.
