Agua Caliente Tijuana is a legendary resort complex dating to the 1920s when it became one of the Western Hemisphere's most glamorous destinations, attracting Hollywood royalty and Prohibition-era Americans crossing the border to enjoy sulfurous thermal springs, casino entertainment, and horse racing in Baja California. Today the thermal springs continue to be used therapeutically for skin and circulatory conditions in a neighborhood that bears the historic resort's name, while the historic complex stands as an architectural monument to cross-border leisure culture. The site occupies a unique place in the shared cultural history of Tijuana and Southern California, where geography, alcohol laws, and geothermal geology conspired to create a golden age of border-town glamour.
