Off The Beaten Path: Mission San Carlos de Rio Carmelo

  • Carmel's rural setting and leisurely pace help you relax and it's small elegant inns, restaurants, art galleries and shops make sure of a nice stay. It's fun to straw through the narrow streets and do some window shopping. But to be honest...it's quite expensive!

    But you're definately better off visiting Mission San Carlos de Rio Carmelo. The Franciscan frair Junipero Serra was the founder of the Californian mission post. Untill his death in 1784 the mission post of Carmel was his homebase. The block, which contains Moorish elements, has a very artistic design and is build by untrained people! It's a great and beautiful place to wonder off...

    Off The Beaten Path: The very famous Lone Cypress

  • The 17-Mile Scenic Drive is a picturesque route in between Pacific Grove and Carmel. Of course very famous are the Lone Cypress and the legendary golf courses. The brochure says that there is more to the 17-Mile Drive than the spectacular meeting of land and sea, although there is plenty of that, too.

    Of course there were a few attractions to go to like Fanshell Beach which is a popular place to stop for a picnic and catch a few rays. The 200- to 300-year-old Lone Cypress is among the most popular photo opportunies along the tour. The legendary tree, official symbol of Pebble Beach Company, is a California Landmark and has been immortalized by Robert Louis Stevenson and captured by countless artists and photographers

    Off The Beaten Path: A bit disappointed?

  • Of course there were a few attractions to go to like Fanshell Beach which is a popular place to stop for a picnic and catch a few rays.

    Last but not least there are the obvious attractions like the golf courses Cypress Point, Spyglass Hill, The Links at Spanish Bay and the world-renowned Pebble Beach Golf Link; a handful of castles scattered along the 17 miles of splendor through the Del Monte Forest; and, of course, nature.

    To be honest we were a bit disappointed driving through it. The entry fee of 7.50 dollars included this illustrated brochure, but during the drive it never lived up to it!

     I thought Carmel was one of the prettiest places I've seen in California. Thanks for checking out my Netherlands page.

     Overstatement, indeed! My father would say that Bud is definitely the King of Beers but I think the true king is Newcastle.
