Tijuana (Spanish [ti'xwana], English usually [ˌtiːəˈwɑnə]), is the largest city in the Mexican state of Baja California and the seat of the municipality of Tijuana of which the current municipal president is Jorge Hank Rhon of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Hilly Tijuana is the westernmost city in Latin America as well as the third northernmost (Tecate and Mexicali a few hours to the east by car, are slightly farther north). For this reason Tijuana is referred to as the corner of Mexico and/or Latin America.
