Weekend in San Diego: Hanging in Old Town


Something I discovered long ago on the first trip to San Diego is that I love chilling in Old Town. Old Town San Diego is considered the birthplace of California. In 1769, Old Town was created as California's first settlement. While this place is a good spot for learning California history, I come for the vibe. This is where I had my first sip of Mexican chocolate drink and had one of the best tamales I had ever eaten.

This time around, we even sampled gourmet olive oil in addition to walking around and browsing at the many stores. If you have time, I suggest spending it in Old Town. Incredible food and great shopping and some history lessons sprinkled in there too.

A great spot for photography enthusiasts too.

    Loved this ... been too long since we’ve been in SCal, and back then oldtown San Diego was a favorite. I scrolled to see if you ate at a favorite Mexican Restaurant that I remember clearly...all but the name. My mouth is watering just thinking of it.

    Ashamed to say I've driven by Old Town many, many times, but never taken the time to stop and explore. I didn't realize it was California's first settlement. Now it's definitely on my to-do list!! Thanks for the great post.

    It looks great. Somehow I've always missed Old Town in my too-short visits.
