The principal aspects of this city

Calexico is situated on the border between the United States and Mexico. This city (with Mexicali, which is on the other side of the border) merge different cultures but also many conflicts. The habitants give a great importance about their american identity, their values and the founding principles of their democracy. According to Peter, a habitant, the city shows a big contrast with San Diego. Indeed, poetry defines Calexico, whith its alternating landscape (deserts, agricultural lands, canals...). Moroever, this place protects the ecosystem. In summary, this is not the United States or Mexico, but something else, the habitants created their own nation.
