Welcome to Los Angeles, America’s second largest city
and home to 3.8 million people. But L.A. didn’t start out
that way. Olvera Street: Discover the Soul of Los Angeles leads
you past today’s glitzy bars and eateries, sports centers and
high-rises to trace the city’s roots. Travel back more than
two centuries to when settlers walked from Mexico to start
a new life near what would become today’s downtown.
Join Mike Harris, Southern California writer and editor,
on his easy walking tour of Olvera Street, a key part of El
Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, as he takes
you to its unique museums, artwork, multi-generation
Mexican family shops and restaurants.
