Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa in San Luis Obispo, CA
Much of California's history begins with the founding of the Spanish missions, a total of 21 from north to south along the El Camino Real ("King's Highway).
These missions had a significant impact on the area and the people already living there, with the growth of Christianity, but also brought many agricultural (livestock, fruits, vegetables) and cultural contributions that survive today, more than 200 years after being established in some cases.
A visit to one of the local California missions is a fascinating glimpse into the past history of the area, whether you are a local or a visitor. I have visited the Mission San Luis Rey de Francia in Oceanside, and the Mission San Juan Capistrano, and on our recent trip to wine country had time to also see the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, in San Luis Obispo, CA.
The Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, the 5th of the 21 missions, was founded in 1772 by Fransiscan Father Junipero Serra, founder of many of the early missions. You can read more about the history of each of the California missions if you are interested.
I hope you enjoyed the show! Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, and the town itself, are well worth a visit if you are in the area.
