Abstract
Tijuana, city of contrasts and development, is a city that reinvents itself every day. Rooted in nationalism, it is a place where traditions from all over Mexico can be found. Its people come mostly from the countryside, but also from diverse cosmopolitan backgrounds, not only in Mexico, but also from the most distant parts of the world. Regardless of their social or national origin, its inhabitants generate a society that keeps its traditions. But, with its bold view of globalization, Tijuana pushes the technological and cultural challenges of the twenty-first century. Because it is a society of migrants of multicultural and multi-ethnic origin, Tijuana represents Mexico, is the sum of all that is Mexico, and expresses the multiple faces of Mexico.
