Saborea California Coast: Una aventura gastronómica única
Explora los sabores auténticos de California Coast en una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable.
The California Coast is one of the most iconic coastal itineraries on the planet, stretching from the Mexican border in the south to the lush northern forests near Oregon. Articulated by the famous Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1), this region stands out for the dizzying terrain of Big Sur, the historic lighthouses, the colonies of sea lions and the surf culture of beaches such as those of Malibu, Santa Cruz or La Jolla. It combines the urban and cosmopolitan avant-garde of San Francisco and Los Angeles with wild landscapes, national parks and wine regions on the edge of the ocean.
