San Diego is the second largest city in California. It is a unique city mainly due to its perfect location on the pacific coast. San Diego has amazing weather almost all year round and it has a number of attractive beaches that many travelers frequent, both local and international. The recent emergence of the city as a biotechnology enclave has led to an increase in business related travel in the region to add to the already established tourist travel. The city is near a military base, so a lot of air shows streak the sky during summer, which seems to last all year. San Diego hotels range from cheap fare to luxury suites put either in the heart of the cultural districts or on the cool blue beaches.
