Old Town San Diego State Historic Park

Alex Lopes

A really interesting depiction of the life in the Old West, with many different options for crafts and dining. Parking was easily available and it was just a short detour from the highway. Plan on spending about 45 minutes just walking around and checking the different shops. Add about one hour to have a meal in one of the many restaurants (some of them a bit more expensive than what we could find elsewhere for the same type of food but not prohibitively so). A good place to stop by in a visit to San Diego.

An absolutely amazing experience. So much history and culture to take in. There was incredible live music being performed for an excited crowd. The El Campo Cemetery is full of history. Be sure to read the informative plaques in front of many of the graves. Be sure to take in the beauty of The Church of The Immaculate Conception and it’s many beautiful pieces of art and devotion spread throughout its property. The overall feel and experience of the area is incredible. You can’t go to San Diego and not go to Old Town. Time well spent!

Definitely an educational site of San Diego history including the first school building and a courthouse. Many vendors with unique local items such as Mexican decor and lawn outdoor ornaments, a really unusual cigar shop that if I were an aficionado would be a frequent patron, and legitimate Mexican restaurants. A lot of history and arts/crafts. A must see for tourists and locals. Also just outside the immediate area are many other restaurants and retail merchants.
