Map of El Paso  

Tourism  
Bordered by mountains and the Rio Grande, El Paso is strongly influenced by Mexico and the Old West. A cultural mix of Hispanics, Anglos and Native Americans gives it an atmosphere unlike that of any other city in the state. If you want to get a better understanding of the complexities of the international border between the U.S. and Mexico, El Paso is a good place to start.
