San Juan Bautista

I first became interested in San Juan Bautista after seeing Hitchcock's classic 1958 film "Vertigo", as the location featured prominently in the film. This is a very interesting place, founded in the late 1700s by Father Tapis as one of the original and largest Spanish missions along El Camino Real. This mission is further notable for surviving many quakes (including 1906), for it's famous Indian boys choirs, and for being the cornerstone in a classic (and now well preserved) California gold rush town. This is well worth a visit.
