Although the Lone Star State holds five of the twenty five largest cities in all of America, each city is drastically different from one another. If Austin is seen as the intellectual center of Texas, El Paso is the Texan city that best reflects the state's unique mixture of American and Mexican culture.

The twenty second largest city in America and home to over half a million residents, El Paso is one of the most unique cities in America. Located in west Texas within the Chihuahuan Desert, El Paso borders New Mexico and Mexico. Sharing an international border with its sister city, Ciudad Juárez, El Paso is steeped in Mexican culture.

Close to natural wonders like the Rio Grande and the Franklin Mountains, El Paso is a mosaic of delights. Home to famed rodeos, world-class museums, and authentic Tex-mex food, the Sun City is a wondrous place. With its natural desert backdrop that looks eerily similar to one seen in Western movies, El Paso is also a burgeoning metropolis.

Filled with modern day shopping malls and businesses, El Paso is still able to retain its historical roots. From mariachi music to malls, El Paso is one of the most dazzling parts of America.
