Being from San Antonio, home of the most popular tourist site in the whole great state of Texas-- THE ALAMO!! I was excited to see that California has missions too. Little did I know that there are 21 missions that extend from the San Diego area to north of San Francisco! Each mission is located on the "Royal Highway" along to coastline or just off highway 1. While venturing to Los Angeles for a relaxing weekend I stopped to see a few missions along my way. Here are some of my favorite pictures- enjoy!
In 1906 guidepost bells were placed along the El Camino Real to guide early travelers and preserve this historic route which linked California's missions beginning in 1789.
