This relationship began as FriendshipCity status on April of 1988 when a delegation from Dallas, made up for City Council members and Mexican Consul General, traveled to Monterrey to explore the possibility of establishing a relationship between the two cities. Because Texas and Mexico share strong cultural ties with one another, this relationship has enjoyed many different shared activities since its initiation. About Monterrey Monterrey, Mexico’s third largest city, is a truly surprising city. A powerhouse of business and industry, this city is one of the most important production and trade centers in the country. There are a number of nearby attractions that appeal to tourists, especially those interested in a vacation complemented by all of the amenities that are associated with the convenience that a large city offers. Quality restaurant, modern shopping malls, numerous museums, and cultural attractions abound here. The mountains, canyons, and desert that surround the city offer pleasant diversion and a wide variety of activities, many of which are not readily available anywhere else in Mexico. A modern, well-planned city that is easy to navigate and full of cultural offerings, Monterrey is populated by friendly and helpful people who are eager to present their city as the most advanced in Mexico. Monterrey’s population of over one million (three million in the urban area) is the most educated in Mexico, and the city of a per-capita basis has more colleges, universities, and institutes of technology than any other Mexican city. Monterrey is also known as “The Sultan of the North,” partly due to the fact that this city is probably the most business-friendly city in Mexico. The open business climate has helped this city evolve into an enormous industrial and commercial center. Two airports, railway links, over 35 modern industrial parks and a modern, high tech, convention and exhibition center are all results of this city’s commercial success.
