San Luis Obispo | Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa | Old Mission Church
Mission San Luis Obispo is located in the center of the town and was built in 1772. The Spanish style church is quite beautiful, with a small museum and a nice garden outside. I loved the outdoor space and I walked around for an hour without realizing it.
San Luis Obispo | Bubblegum Alley
The Wall of Gum in the city center is a popular photo stop, similar to the Wall of Gum in Seattle, where two walls in an alley are covered with gum. It's hard to say why the wall is there, but it's said that some tourists come here to leave a piece of gum they've chewed.
San Luis Obispo Scenic Spot | San Luis Obispo Creek Trail
There is also a small trail in the small town, right along the San Luis Obispo Creek, where many people cross the bridge to walk after eating at the restaurant next to it, which is quite comfortable.
San Luis Obispo Gourmet | Luna Red
- Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Price: $$
If San Luis Obispo is used as a stopover, people usually come here for a meal.Luna RedThis restaurant is located in the center of town not far from Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, it has a nice atmosphere and a convenient location. We tried their famous Mixto Paella and ordered a pitcher of Tequila based Sangria, the Paella was very generous with chicken, sausage, fish and clams, the meat and seafood was much more than the rice, enough for four people, and the taste was good, it's worth recommending.
San Luis Obispo Cafe | Scout Coffee
Scout Coffee is one of the most popular cafes in town, and it gives you a very cozy feeling. I recommend the Oat milk chai latte, which is very good.
