Tourist Guide Mexicali
Mexicali is the capital of the state of Baja California in North-Western Mexico. Mexicali received its name from a combination of ‘Mexico’ and ‘California’.
It shares its border with the town of Calexico (from ‘California’ and ‘Mexico’) in California, USA.
Located on the Tropic of Cancer, the average annual temperature is 26°C. However, the city’s weather is prone to extremes. Mexicali is often referred to as ‘The city that captured the sun’, as during the summer, temperatures range between 35ºC – 45ºC. In winters, the temperature can drop to –5°C.
Primarily an agricultural town, the population of 856,000 mainly works in ‘maquiladoras’, foreign manufacturing facilities. Owing to Mexicali’s proximity to the US border, it is also an important hub of trade and commerce.
