[USA/Los Angeles] Olvera Street, a place in Los Angeles where you can feel Mexico
Olvera Street is located about a 3-minute walk from Union Station in Los Angeles.
Olvera Street is known as the birthplace of Los Angeles.
The street itself was established in 1930 to celebrate the Mexican traditions inherited in Los Angeles.
The 19th century buildings lining the narrow streets and side streets are filled with traditional restaurants and folk craft shops.
The moment you enter, you will forget that you are in America and fall into the illusion of being in Central or South America, and you will instantly feel Mexico, with Spanish being spoken everywhere.
It is not a big place, but it is close to Union Station and can be reached on foot from Little Tokyo, so it is a place you should visit when sightseeing around downtown.
It seems that events are held every year on Cinco de Mayo on May 5th and Los Angeles Birthday Celebration on September 4th, and it seems to be quite lively.
