But what about California's history? Probably the
best known piece of history is that around the early
1840s. If you went to California during this time you
would have been going to Mexico as it was once a sleepy
Mexican territory! However, it declared itself
independent in 1846 and joined the Unites States in
1848. And in 1849.....the famous 'gold rush'. Today, the
second most spoken language in California is Spanish -
some remnants from its days as a Mexican colony but more
so because of the immigration of Mexicans and Latin
Americans into the state in more recent times.
California's weather is quite interesting too! In high summer a high pressure centre known as 'Pacific
High' – a great mass of calm air – hangs over
California keeping away storms and rain, save a few
thunderstorms in the dessert and the mountains. In winter
these 'Highs' move south making way for storms to pass
over. These storms are strongest in northern California
where most rainfall occurs from October through April.
In the south of the state the rain mainly falls between
November and March. Winter temperatures in California
are mild.
For places of interest, California has a large share
of the country's wonders and many recreational areas. The other Disney (Disneyland)
is of course located in the state and of course
there's Sea World at San Diego's Mission Bay. Outwith Disney, there
are many national forests – these cover about one-fifth
of the state. Probably the most famous, and the largest,
is Yosemite National Park with its spectacular
waterfalls, gorges and groves of giant sequoias, which
is in the Sierra Nevada. Then there is Redwood National
Park found along the northwest coast which contains
dense forests and long beaches.
California is also the home
of the 'infamous' Death Valley that covers a vast and
colourful area of the Mojave Desert. Other places of interest
include Knott's Berry Farm which was once a fruit farm
but is now the state's oldest and second largest amusement
park (after Disneyland!).
For those that like art visit Laguna Beach (south of
Santa Ana in Orange County) as it is a noted artists'
colony.
We cannot talk about California without mentioning
'silent movies' and 'the talkies' - the most famous of
cinematography homes - Hollywood.
Finally, we couldn't finish writing about
California without mentioning the Napa Valley –
one of the most famous wineries which is open to the
public for tours.
So whether you are looking for
San Diego vacation rentals,
Lake Tahoe vacation rentals
or a mountain setting location, our California pages
give you the choice.
