I'm going to San Diego this summer, and as a Spanish Student, want to travel to Mexico. Whereshould I go?
I will be sailing from San Diego, so I want to know somewhere close on the Coast of Mexico that speaks mainly spanish and is fun for my family to visit for a few days. Any kind of place that anyone suggests is fine.

Stay away from border towns. If you really want to experience Mexican culture, you have to travel to the interior sections of Mexico. Border towns are well known for their inhospitality, rudeness, and among other things, crime.

You should go to rosarito, its in tijuana....lots of fresh seafood, clubs and shopping....its family friendly also..

Xel-Ha in Riviera Maya. It's a historical site, where the Mayan Indians used to Inhabit. You can even swim with dolphins!

i live in veracruz and it is great. very mexicana. very safe. its a little touristy but not for so much for americans (like cancun or puerta vallarta)...this is where mexicans vacation

It depends on what you want...If you want just another touristy americanized spot, then go to Cancun, Hermosillo, or some other popular place like that. I had a blast in Cancun last time I went. Xel-ha is awesome, but I prefer more traditional mexican places such as Guadalajara. It's the most traditional mexican place in Mexico. And not so touristy. Puerto Vallarta is AWESOME too!

If you are coming to San Diego, in don have much time, you can drive or even take the trolley to the border and cross to Tijuana. There its true that in some places theres its crime, but it is like in every big city of the world, if you stay in the tourist places or plazas, you should not have any problems, if you like shopping you can go to the revolution ave, or Mercado de artesanias in downtown Tijuana, you can find a lot of Mexican Art crafts, also you can always ask for a lower price and a better deal, downtown Tijuana its at 3 minutes from the border, you can take a take will charge you about 3 USD, also there are plenty of restaurants at a very reasonable price. If you like to go were the local people go, you can go to Plaza Rio, also very close to the border, in that plaza all the prices are tag and final, there are Clothes, shoes, Jewelry, perfumes, etc... and then If you like something more cultural, threes the CECUT, ( Centro Cultural Tijuana ) has a big museum and several paint and sculptures expositions. This its just in Tijuana, if you are coming just for 3 day, w/ this its pleanty enough. Also yo can go south of Tijuana To Rosarito ( 20 minutes from Tijuana) La Ruta del Vino ( Wine Route, its between ensenada and Tecata, like 1.5 Hrs from Tijuana, or Ensenada 1 hour from Tijuana. You can spend one day at each location.
