Known forhistoricmexicanfree
Olvera Street is a brick lane in El Pueblo, the historic birthplace of Los Angeles, lined with Mexican craft stalls, taquitos and mariachi music. Wander the old adobe buildings, including the city's oldest surviving house, and time a visit for a festival like Dia de los Muertos. It is small and touristy, but it is genuine LA heritage and free to explore.
