Los Angeles - Olvera Street

After the restoration of Old Los Angeles, Olvera Street was opened in 1930 as a Mexican market, but in latter years the range of goods on sale has lost much of its charm, so that recently plans have been lodged for a further re-modeling. In addition to market-stalls and shops, there are many restaurants in the houses. The road bears the name of the first judge in Los Angeles County, Agustin Olvera.

Olvera Street is known as the birthplace of the City of Angels or El Pueblo Historic Monument. It contains 27 historic buildings and a traditional Mexican style plaza area.
