I now live on the East Coast but whenever I go back home to California, Olvera St is a must stop every time...and sometimes more than 2-3 times during a California visit. I love and appreciate the cu...
Years ago, one of the summer rituals for L.A. children was a new pair of huaraches from Olvera Street and maybe some Mexican jumping beans. Nowadays those rituals are a year-round treat on this cobblestone street, which is a block-long cornucopia of traditional clothing and accessories, Mexican art, giftwares, leather goods, novelties and restaurants. There is also a Visitors Center where tourists can appreciate the complimentary screening of a film which depicts early life in Los Angeles. Olvera Street was created in the '30s and comprises the area known as the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument, which is the site of the city's beginnings.

One of the oldestStreets in Los Angeles, Mexican Market place, El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument.29 mins drive 21.8 miles
Such a unique part of the city concentrated into one little street. One of the most awesome and creative spots in LA to visit in my opinion, especially if you love mexican food!
Cool area with small shops that remind of a previous era in LA history. Located next to downtown and the train station, making the time jump even more interesting.
This is living history. Take a look at city around you and realize it all started from here. Beautiful this is truly a Los Angeles iconic landmark
