Chinatown
- known as New Chinatown, was developed around the Central Plaza in 1938, just west of Old Chinatown, where Union Station is now. Before the move, this area was LA's Little Italy, and is still home to St. Peter's Italian Church and Casa Italiana Cultural Center. LA's Chinatown is less dense than New York or San Francisco. The shops don't line the streets as thickly, but there are still a few cute stores and plazas through the serpent gateway heading north on Broadway from Cesar Chavez.
- The neon pagoda lights and lanterns at Central Plaza make a colorful display at night. Most of the notable landmarks in Chinatown are a few blocks from the
Take a Tour of Los Angeles City Hall
- Docent-led City Hall Tours are available weekday mornings from 9 am to noon. The last tour usually leaves around 11, but it's not a fixed schedule. If you make a reservation, you're more likely to land on the right hour for a tour, and might even get your parking covered.
- You can walk in (through the metal detectors) and explore on your own with the self-guided tour materials available at the information desk on the 3rd Floor. Be sure to take the elevator up to the observation deck on the 27th floor. You have to take the Express Elevator to the 22nd Floor, then another adjacent elevator to the 26th floor. Finally, you walk up one flight through the Mayor Tom Bradley Room and exit onto the Observation Balcony that circles the building.
Olvera Street
- Olvera Street (Calle Olvera) is a historical district in downtown Los Angeles, and a part of El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument. It was officially founded in 1781 in Los Angeles, and was renamed to Olvera Street in 1877. Many of the Plaza District's Historic Buildings are on Olvera Street, as well as some of the oldest Los Angeles monuments including the Avila Adobe built in 1818, Pelanconi House built in 1857, and the Sepulveda House built in 1887. The tree-shaded, pedestrian mall marketplace with craft shops, restaurants and roving troubadours is a popular tourist destination. The street has been described as a Top Five in the Great Streets of America journal.

Spanish Town of Ronda, (Spain) - Travel Guide
Take a tour of Spanish Town of Ronda in Ronda, Spain -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
On the southern tip of Spain, in the state of Andalusia, is a remote gem of untouched Spanish culture and charm.
This is Ronda, a community which sits above an infamous ravine more than 100 meters deep.
The town has existed since at least the 6th century BC, and has come under the rule of many cultures including the Celts, Phoenicians, and Visigoths.
Ronda is known as one of the White Hill Towns because of the white homes lining its cobbled streets.
It has served as an inspirational haven for writers like Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles.
Sweeping views, gorge-spanning bridges and a long tradition of bullfighting, are some of the many pleasures found in this ancient yet pristine locale.
Olvera Street
California travel expert Veronica Hill of tours Olvera Street Los Angeles in this episode of California Travel Tips.
This festive Mexican marketplace, located right across the street from Union Station, makes a wonderful day trip.
Here, you can enjoy live Mexican music in the Olvera Street plaza, try on a sombrero, and browse the Olvera Street shops for unique Mexican products such as huaraches, ponchos and lucha libre masks.
But what really makes this place worth a trip is the food.
Some of my favorite Olvera Street restaurants are Celito Lindo, known for its beef taquitos drenched in avocado sauce, and La Noche Buena, where you can dig in to authentic street tacos stuffed with carne asada.
For a more upscale Mexican menu, enjoy a margarita and mole poblano at La Golondrina on Olvera Street, open since 1930. This was the first true Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles.
After lunch, satisfy your sweet tooth with some Mexican candy at Lupe's Candy Shop, or pop into Mr. Churro for a hand-dipped cinnamon sugar pastry.
Olvera Street history dates back to Sept. 4, 1781. A wood cross commemorates the date when 11 families from Los Alamos, Mexico founded the pueblo which became the birthplace of Los Angeles.
Today, Olvera Street is still home to 27 original buildings.
Don't miss the free tours of Avila Adobe, built in 1818. This is the oldest standing residence in Los Angeles, furnished with period pieces from the 1840s. It was also the home of Christine Sterling, who developed the Olvera Street marketplace during the 1930s.
The Sepulveda House, built in 1887, now serves as the visitors center. Here, you can view an 1890s boarding house kitchen, watch a short film, or sign up for the free 50-minute walking tours by Las Angelitas. Call (213) 628-1274.
Offered three times daily Tuesdays though Saturdays, the tours are a great way to learn about this cherished local landmark.
Olvera Street events include the annual blessing of the animals in April, the Cinco de Mayo celebration in May and Dia de Las Muertos in October. Olvera Street is located off Interstate 101 in downtown Los Angeles. Parking is plentiful in lots throughout downtown Los Angeles.
Olvera Street hours are 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Olvera Street is free to the public.

Setenil de las Bodegas - City in the Rock - Spain travel blog
Setenil de las Bodegas is a town (pueblo) and municipality in the province of Cádiz, Spain, famous for its dwellings built into rock overhangs above the Río Guadalporcún. Subscribe to our channel:
It has an exact antipodal city: Auckland, New Zealand.
This small town is located 157 kilometres (98 miles) northeast of Cádiz. It has a distinctive setting along a narrow river gorge. The town extends along the course of the Rio Trejo with some houses being built into the rock walls of the gorge itself, created by enlarging natural caves or overhangs and adding an external wall.
Setenil has a reputation for its meat products, particularly chorizo sausage and cerdo (pork) from pigs bred in the surrounding hills. As well as meat, it has a reputation for producing fine pasteles (pastries), and its bars and restaurants are among the best in the region. Its outlying farms also provide Ronda and other local towns with much of their fruit and vegetables.

Andalucía Hill towns: Grazalema and Setinel De Las Borgas
Andalucía Hill towns - Grazalema and Setinel De Las Borgas
When my travel dreams drift off to Spain, they often include visions of Andalucía, the southern part of the country that feels more quintessentially Spanish than perhaps anywhere else. With a string of whitewashed hill towns, sunny skies, vibrant festivals, and tempting tapas, Andalucía is the soul of Spain — almost stereotypically so.
Most tourists hit Andalucía's three great cities — Granada, Córdoba, and Sevilla — or the Costa del Sol. But for something more authentic, I like exploring the region's interior along the Route of the White Hill Towns (Ruta de los Pueblos Blanchos). The middle-size towns that dot this undulating route are more accessible and friendlier than the big cities, but still pack a whallop of delightfully pure Spanish culture. Whether crouching in a ravine or perched atop a hill, each town — painted white to stay cool in scorching summers — has a personality and a story of its own.
Exploring these hill towns is easiest by car, with only the major towns easily accessible by public transportation: Arcos de la Frontera (by bus) and Ronda (by train).
My favorite is Arcos de la Frontera, a photographer's feast. Arcos smothers its hilltop, tumbling down its back like the train of a wedding dress. The fairy-tale old center is a labyrinthine wonderland, where you can viewpoint-hop all the way through town and feel the wind funnel through the narrow streets as cars inch around tight corners. Around town, I like to peek discreetly into private patios. These wonderful, cool-tiled courtyards, filled with plants, pools, and happy family activities, are typical of the whole region.
Arcos' main church — and the town's name (de la frontera means on the frontier) — are reminders of the Reconquista, the centuries-long fight to take Spain back from the Muslim Moors. After Christian forces retook Arcos, its mosque was demolished, and a church was built on its ruins. Today, these hill towns — no longer strategic — are just passing time peacefully.
From Arcos, a short drive takes you to Ronda: With nearly 35,000 people, it's the most substantial and entertaining home base on the route.
Ronda's main attractions are its gorge-spanning bridges, an intriguing old town, and one of the oldest bullrings in Spain (built in 1785). The arena's columns corral the action, creating a kind of Neoclassical theater. But the real joy lies in exploring Ronda's back streets and taking in its beautiful balconies, wispy gardens, and panoramic views. Walking the streets, you feel a strong local pride and a community where everyone seems to know everyone.
While crowded with day-tripping tourists from the nearby Costa del Sol, late in the day locals reclaim their streets and squares, and a thriving tapas scene takes over.
Ronda's breathtaking perch above a deep gorge, while visually dramatic today, was practical and vital when it was built. For the Moors, it provided a tough bastion, one of the last to be conquered by the Spaniards in 1485. The ravine divides Ronda into its old Moorish town and the relatively modern new town, which was built after the reconquest. The two towns were connected by a bridge in the late 1700s.
The dramatic road linking Arcos and Ronda cuts through the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, famed throughout Spain for its lush and rugged mountain scenery. Within the park lie the towns of Zahara de la Sierra and Grazalema. While Grazalema is the better overnight stop of the two, Zahara is a delight for those who want to hear only the sounds of the wind, birds, and elderly footsteps on ancient cobbles.
Tiny Zahara, in a tingly setting under a Moorish castle, has a spectacular view over a turquoise reservoir. The town had long been a strategic stronghold for the Moors, and Spanish Reconquista forces considered it the gateway to Granada. Today the castle is little more than an evocative ruin with a commanding view.
Grazalema is another postcard-pretty town, offering a royal balcony for a memorable picnic, a square where you can watch old-timers playing cards, and plenty of quiet, whitewashed streets to explore. Shops sell the town's beautiful handmade wool blankets and good-quality leather items from nearby Ubrique. While the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park is known as the rainiest place in Spain, the clouds seem to wring themselves out before they reach the town — I've only ever had blue skies.
In any of these towns, evening is prime time. The promenade begins as everyone gravitates to the central square. The spotless streets are polished nightly by the feet of families licking ice cream. The whole town strolls — it's like cruising without cars. Buy an ice cream, join the parade, and soak up the essence of Spanish life.
