Introduction
California’s Golden Gateway. The 18th century Spanish mission post that has transformed itself beyond recognition into today’s ‘City by the Bay’ - an effervescently young-at-heart and cosmopolitan symbol of the New World. A place of fun and freedom, with a sunlit, ready-made film-set location amid 40 rolling hills that tumble spectacularly down to the Pacific waters of blue San Francisco Bay. The Monterey Coast
One of the most appealing settings in which to enjoy a stopover on the exhilarating journey along California’s Pacific coast is the beautiful Monterey Peninsula, 2.5 hours’ drive from San Francisco and 5 from Los Angeles. This is the setting of famous Seventeen Mile Drive, past Pebble Beach Championship Golf Course and colonies of elephant seals and sea otters. Los Angeles
BIG, BRASH, bizarre, bemusing - and quite unforgettable! This is ‘L.A.’. - 450 square miles of pace-setting ‘pizzazz’, towering skylines and legendary showbiz settings like Hollywood and Beverly Hills. A city that claims the title of ‘ the entertainment capital of the world’, home past and present to some of the USA’s richest and most famous names from the silver screen. San Diego & Santa Barbara
Just two hours’ coastal drive south from Los Angeles and 20 miles from the Mexico border, sun-drenched San Diego is both a sparkling modern city and an attractive holiday resort. Here you’ll find a perfect family resort, with a temperate year-round climate, a rugged 70-mile Pacific shoreline of surf-swept beaches and outstanding watersports, many parks and smart shops, a colourful harbour, and the renowned San Diego Zoo and Sea World.
San Francisco, The Monterey Coast, Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Barbara, Palm Springs. . . Stunning scenery, a sophisticated lifestyle - and Mexico just 'Down the Way'.
