This famous adobe structure was constructed in 1827 and was considered one of the finest houses in Mexican California. Pop into some of park's stores to browse fine crafts, jewelry, and artworks. If you're hungry, you'll find plenty of options for Mexican or old-fashioned American fare.

Just love to stop by and have some fun. San Diego is a great place, but what makes it amazing is the old town atmosphere. A must see attraction if you have never visited. Come hungry and thirsty. Come with some comfy shoes so you can explore the shops (obviously please spend a few bucks and support the local shop owners), but most importantly stay for the evening fiesta. Have some drinks and dance. Its a good place to just let loose.
