Traveling along California’s coastline, there are
21 historic missions along El Camino Real (the Royal Road), forged by Spanish conquistador in the late 18th century. From San Diego to Sonoma, these missions are testament to the arduous and often controversial history of the land.
Most of the missions are located on or near Highway 101 (indicated by the bronze mission bells along the road) and are situated in the midst of the most beautiful scenery and countryside, and as they are an important part of Californian and American history, it is a pilgrimage that’s definitely worth making for anyone visiting or traveling in California.
