San Luis Obispo

Guarded by the majestic Santa Lucia Mountain Range, the San Luis Obispo City is a getaway from your busy life. The city was founded by Junípero Serra, and is colloquially called SLO. Before the Spanish colonized this region, the Chumash Indians were the only inhabitants here, and they thrived on the bounty that SLO's sea and land had to offer. The Chumash people welcomed the Spaniards with open arms and also embraced the catholic religion. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is one of the oldest missions of the city and is a must-visit attraction. Today the city is a haunt for families as well as romantic couples, as it offers a rare combination of culture, history, romance and fun.
