Ep1) – Tijuana/Gibraltar.
On the boundary between Mexico and the United States, Tijuana has the busiest border crossing on earth. With so many transients and emigration hopefuls, officials can only estimate the city’s population. Guesses range from one to three million. Oscar our driver in this episode introduces us to the rare Tijuana zebra, he arranges for a street band to sing Mexico’s traditional happy birthday song to our presenter, and he explains no birthday in Tijuana would be complete without a Tequila Popper-a celebration to remember. Next we’re on the Rock,the real Rock,not Alcatraz, but Gibraltar, ancient Pillar of Hercules and modern sentinel of the seas, where on a clear day you can see three countries, two continents, an ocean and a sea. In town Harry Parody our driver takes us to meet the Lower House to solve the world’s problems while baking in the sun. Next Harry takes us across the border to Spain, where Iberia’s oldest bullring, a bull-fighting school and a different way of life beckon.
