 Mexican influence Mar 18, 2008
The Olvera Street (or El Pueblo) is the historic center of LA. It is right opposite of the Union Station. You can lots of Mexican restaurants and stores there. When I visited with two friends I met at the hostel, we had a Mexican lunch which was very good. We also tried some Mexican candies such as cactus candies and tamarind balls. You can also visit the oldest building (Avila Adobe) in the city there which is open to the public. In the garden of this house you can find some humongous cactuses!

On the weekends, Olvera Street is awash with people. It's a great
place to roam around and think about shopping. There is the Adobe House, the oldest dwelling in Los Angeles. The Placita sometimes has performers, and sets up a nativity scene during Christmas. For el dia de los muertos, there have been huge parties. Its basically a long alley between shops and restaurants that has vendors in wood shacks and lots of wares. The shops to the sides are worth going into because they have some great items, like the coin bank that is featured in the picture (the black bull).

First stop Olvera Street, there was some sort of Mexican festival going on in the square with singing, dancing, market and food stalls. We had planned to look round on the way back so we stayed on the bus to Little Tokyo.
