Tucson:
The Tucson metropolitan area is presently home to over 750,000, and is continuing to grow by nearly 2,000 new residents each month. People visit Tucson for its rich history, recreational and cultural pursuits, gorgeous desert scenery, world-class hotels, and year-round sunshine.
In this city, where old and new are equally represented, traditional adobe architecture and modern high-rise buildings stand side by side. Folklorico mingles with modern art, dance and music. It is not uncommon to lunch on a topopo salad and dine that same evening on fine French cuisine.
Tucson (pronounced Too sahn) has been continuously settled for over 12,000 years and is one of the oldest cities in the United States. The city is spread out over hundreds of square miles in a scenic, high desert valley surrounded by five mountain ranges: the Santa Catalinas on the north and northeast, the Rincon range to the east, the Santa Rita Mountains on the south and southeast, the Tucson Mountain range on the west and the Tortolita Mountai
