Directions from
the México-U.S.A. border:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
By car
From San Diego
or LA: Head southbound on Interstate 5 or 805, depending on where you're coming
from. The 805 eventually rejoins Interstate 5 a few miles before the border.
Once you cross the border into Tijuana, stay on the 2 farthest left hand lanes.
About 150 ft
from crossing the border, you will see the following signs: Centro downtown,
Rio Tijuana Rio Zone and Aeropuerto USA return, (take Centro downtown 3rd
st. Calle 3ra)
Stay where the
green line is located. Follow the signs that take you down town, to 3rd st
(Calle 3ra). This path will take you down a curve that goes counter clockwise,
left (see image).
Once you finish
the counter clockwise curve, you will enter 3rd street, as shown on the image with the green line.
Keep going straight
. Once you reach your 4th traffic light (Revolution ave.), make a left turn
on that light.
Go straight
on Revolution ave. You will see that the cross street numbers increase (4th
st, 5th street, 6th street, etc.)
Skandalo is located on 7th street between Revolution and Madero Ave. You'll see an AM/PM Mini-Market, Skandalo is right across the street from it.
since 7th street is one way only you have to make a left turn on 8th street from Revolution
Go down two blocks and make another left on Negrete Ave
Drive one block and make a left on 7th St.
Go straight one and a half blocks and you're there.
There are various parking facilities close by, the closest one is
behind the Jai Alai building (you can enter this parking lot thru either 7th or 8th. st.) the good thing about this lot is that it has a convenient walking exit to 7th. St. that leaves you right in front of Skandalo. It is highly recomended
that you park your car inside one of the Parking lots to prevent any unwanted
problems. The parking prices range from \\$1 per hour or $7 for the entire night.
If you walk across
the Border...
You're best
bet for transportation to Skandalo is if you take a Yellow cab
from the border straight to Skandalo on 7th and Revolution, The yellow cabs are located about
150 ft from the border and charge you about 5 Dollars for a ride to Skandalo..
Yellow cabs are
located a few steps from Skandalo and all over downtown Tijuana
for when you decide to return home and they charge 5 dollars for a ride
to the border.
Mexicoach, the
big red bus, and other special buses are also a great way to get to Skandalo. You can catch the Bus on the U.S., directly across the border
(Next to the Trolley station) and they will take you directly in to 7th st. downtown
Tijuana, about half a block from Skandalo. They charge 1 Dollar
one way, and \\$1.50 for a round trip ticket. The only negative to the MexiCoach
is that they close at 9:00pm, so you will have to show up early and leave
before 9:00pm if you want to get the round trip fair, but since all events
are at night is most certain that you have to take a cab back to the border.
