About Colonia Miramar, Tijuana
Miramar is a 41-hectare colonia in the Playas de Tijuana delegación, laid out along Avenida Miguel Inclán, Avenida Blanca Estela Pavón, Avenida Joaquín Pardavé and Calle Evangelina Elizondo — a street plan named almost entirely for figures of Mexican cinema.
It sits among the canyon colonias, bordered by Anexa Miramar, Anexa Los Laureles, Cañón del Matadero, Cañón Miramar and Cañón Rosales. The Centro de Salud Miramar provides public health care inside the boundary, with the Clínica del Buen Pastor and consulting rooms alongside it. Schooling runs through the Secundaria Pablo L. Martínez and the Escuela Primaria General Guadalupe.
Calimax Miramar is the anchor, with Mercado Flash and an Oxxo on La Marqué, and abarrotes — García, La Chiquita, La Morita — filling in the daily trade. Iron Body Gimnasio covers recreation.
Colonia Miramar covers 41 hectares in the Playas de Tijuana delegación, bordered by Anexa Los Laureles, Anexa Miramar, Canon Del Matadero and Canon Miramar. The routed drive to the store is 8.0 miles, about 11 minutes of driving, with the border wait separate and reported live on this site.

Neighbourhood insights
What makes Colonia Miramar, Tijuana distinctive?
Miramar's streets are named almost entirely for Mexican cinema figures, and its health centre serves the surrounding canyon colonias as well as its own 41 hectares.
Why do people here use a U.S. mailbox?
Playas sits well west of the crossing, so U.S. orders are collected on a planned trip rather than casually — and a San Ysidro address makes those orders possible at all.
Who uses the service most from this area?
Households ordering clothing and electronics, families with children at the local schools, and residents of the neighbouring cañones.
Nearby landmarks
The street names are the distinguishing feature — Inclán, Pavón, Pardavé, Elizondo — and the Centro de Salud is the institution that draws people in from the neighbouring cañones.
