See where Los Angeles began...

I always enjoy the atmosphere of Olvera Street...feels like a vacation to Old Mexico. The old buildings are interesting & the colorful shops built into them are fun to visit.
I like to see the colorful handicrafts from Mexico. Also, it's fun to see the Mexican food cooked at the open-air stalls (my favorite places to eat for the quality of food and lower cost).
Also, there is usually free entertainment...strolling Mexican guitarists & singers, and sometimes colorful Mexican or Aztec dancers. A visit to L.A. is not complete without seeing where our city began!
