RouteXpert Review
Los Angeles, also known as 'the City of Angels', is inextricably linked to Hollywood. One of the sights in Hollywood is the Walk of Fame, a long line of around 2,500 stars that honor celebrities from the entertainment industry. For excitement and thrills, head to Disney or the Universal Studios. Furthermore, the vast Los Angeles area has many beaches, including Venice Beach ('muscle beach') and Santa Monica, with the end point of the historic Route 66. Take a look at how the stars of the silver screen live in the hills of Hollywood, do not be shocked by the number of yachts in the marina "Marina del Rey", but enjoy all this splendor, before you know it you will be home again!
In this 4-star route you will drive along the coastline, where there are plenty of opportunities to stop for a picnic on the coast. Don't forget your picnic stuff!
General information:
Los Angeles is a city that has appealed to the imagination for years. In the eyes of the world it is a fairy land of skyscrapers and movie stars. In the past, the film studios shot up like mushrooms, and the city also experienced phenomenal growth. Los Angeles now has almost 4 million inhabitants, making it the second largest city in America. The entire metropolis - Los Angeles and its suburbs - has no fewer than 14 million inhabitants. With that, she accounts for almost half of the total population of California (33 million), while extending to almost a hundred kilometers from the center. A Spanish expedition looking for the Bay of Monterey first established a settlement here in 1769. Twelve years later Governor Felipe de Neve and 11 families founded El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles (The Village of Our Lady) the Queen of Angels). When Mexico gained independence from Spain in the early 19th century, LA became the temporary capital of the Mexican province of Alta California. It was the last area to be conquered by the United States during the Mexican war in 1847. After that, the small village gradually grew into a successful animal husbandry, agricultural and trade center. In a more recent past, Los Angeles has grown primarily through the development of a large number of different industries. The film industry in particular has become world famous. No less than three-quarters of all films produced in America see the first daylight in Los Angeles. In addition to the many film studios, countless major television and radio companies have settled in this city, and that has made Los Angeles the undisputed entertainment center of the world. In a large metropolis such as this one can hardly live without a car. It is therefore not surprising that there are around six million cars in LA. That is more than a third of all California-registered vehicles. More than 800 kilometers of highways have been built to connect the many residential areas of Los Angeles. Nowhere else in America are there more single-family homes together than here. The enormous horizontal growth of LA, which had no equal in the world, was possible because large tracts of land were available around the city. In addition, the "Californian dream" continued to attract people throughout America and the rest of the world. Of course the popularity of Los Angeles also has a shadow side, especially the infamous smog that hangs over the city almost every day. As you approach Los Angeles from the air, you may notice this brown blanket over the valley.
The first Spanish explorers who reached the Bay of Santa Monica in the 16th century already saw a smoky mist hanging in the air. The fires that the local Indians lit every day spread a smoke that was driven further inland by a gentle sea breeze. The smoke was, as it were, trapped in the valley and could
do not spread. Industrialization was continuous throughout the next four centuries, and many more millions of cars were added this century. As a result, this natural phenomenon grew into a national disaster with dramatic consequences. The sunny climate of California turns the exhaust fumes from motor vehicles into a visible layer trapped by the poor air circulation in the valley. Fortunately, the air quality has noticeably improved due to the technological developments of the last 20 years. In this way both the local population and the visitors can fully enjoy the beauty of the City of Angels.
