Los Angeles

The myth, the velocity, the edginess in creative and technological fields – this is Los Angeles, where the multicultural future that awaits the rest of the country is already a firm reality. In little more than 200 years, LA has grown from a dusty Spanish outpost into one of the world’s largest and most complex cities offering top venues for everything from archaeology and the arts to food. The birthplace of Mickey Mouse and Hollywood, LA has shaped the imaginations of millions.

  • Book a romantic table beneath a star-lit sky in the enchanting garden and enjoy the classic and delicious fare.

  • This small store spills over with candles of all kinds, from votives to pillars, scented to fragrance-free, and floating to jarred. It also stocks all kinds of fun and funky accessories.

  • LA branch of famous Chicago original.

  • Enjoy skating along this 22-mile (35-km) paved trail parallel to the beach from Temescal Canyon Road north of Santa Monica to Torrance Beach. Rental outfitters are abundant in both Santa Monica and Venice.

  • A modern breezy B&B, close to the ocean and adjacent to a nature preserve, it is perfect for those who want the convenience of staying near the airport.

  • The beach beckons outside this small hotel on the border of Venice and Marina del Rey. Rooms offer moderate comforts and a cheerful decor. Rates include breakfast.

  • Tucked away in leafy Topanga Canyon, this creekside retreat offers organic vegetarian, fish, and chicken dishes seasoned with a generous sprinkling of New Age philosophy.

  • Live it up in the grandeur of William Wrigley’s former hilltop mansion on Catalina Island. Standard rates include breakfast, a light lunch, evening champagne reception, and the use of a golf car so that you can tool around town.

  • This gallery run by the Mexican-born sisters Ana and Teresa Iturralde functions as a gateway to the US market for many modern and contemporary Latin American artists.

  • Much of the clothing worn by actors ends up here after the the final shot (when the director shouts “It’s a wrap!”). There are bargains galore and each item sports a tag identifying the show it appeared on.
