armers’ MarketFCut out early, head to SLO and start your weekend with the second largest farmers’ market in the western United States. Every Thursday evening for the past 30 years, SLO has converted Higuera Street into its signature event.

Six blocks of Higuera Street are closed to host this legendary street party featuring farm-fresh produce, flowers, down-home barbecues, handmade creations and engaging entertainers. Like clockwork, merchants and vendors roll out their tables, booths and oversized barbecue pits on wheels, prepare their produce, pulled pork and tri-tip sandwiches, and wait for the whistle signaling the start of the fair.

From 6 to 9 p.m., you’ll find locals and visitors getting their week’s worth of produce, eating a meal that was flame-kissed just moments earlier and enjoying some family-friendly entertainment all in one spot. Most downtown merchants join in the festivities by extending their hours for evening visitors.

The market is a great place to grab dinner – just plan on bringing cash and dining street-side.

SLO County, with our robust agricultural and cattle ranching heritage, is renowned for locally grown sustenance, and we back that up with seven days of farmers’ markets. So if you miss Thursday night’s activities, don’t fret, there’s another tomorrow. In SLO alone there are three throughout the week, not counting the Thursday night granddaddy of them all.

Each of the markets in the county is unique in its own right. Avila Beach and Morro Bay offer seafood in abundance. Whether you’re looking for it fresh off the boat or hot off the grill, it’s available on the waterfront. Templeton is known as the chef’s market, where locals sneak a peek at what their favorite chefs are picking up and get a preview of the menu for the week ahead. The SLO weekend markets are a great place to chat up the farmers and learn from the growers themselves what the best cooking tips are for the seasonal produce. So no matter what day you arrive, you are guaranteed to find the freshest foods at one of our many markets and restaurants.

1. Mission Plaza, 1968 – A gathering spot for the community, as well as many events and festivals year-round. Through a nearby footbridge, the plaza adjoins to the creekwalk and provides access to shops on Higuera Street.2. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, 1772 – Considered by many to be the most beautiful in the mission series, this was the fifth of the 21 California missions built. The mission is still an active Catholic church.

rom Past to PresentFPart of experiencing San Luis Obispo’s charm is understanding how the city came to be the gem of the Central Coast. SLO embraces and proudly displays its past, and it’s easy for visitors to take it all in with a simple walking tour of the downtown area. With the map on page 19, you can experience San Luis Obispo through the last nearly two and a half centuries.

In 1772, Father Junipero Serra established the fifth of his California missions in San Luis Obispo, Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, which remains a working parish church, in the heart of downtown. San Luis Creek, the original water source for the mission and later the city, winds through Mission Plaza, which remains a central meeting place and host of festivals, fairs, and other celebrations throughout the year. The mission is the root of San Luis Obispo’s history and an ideal spot to begin your tour of historic SLO.

It was originally a one-story structure similar to its smaller companion.20. Ah Louis Store, 1884 – Chinese immigrant merchant Ah Louis built this structure of bricks that he made himself. The store, which anchored SLO’s Chinatown, served as a bank, post office and general merchandise store for the more than 2,000 Chinese laborers who came to San Luis Obispo to build the railroad.21. Garden Street Inn, 1887 – The Italianate Queen Anne home built by german immigrants morris and Helena goldtree changed hands twice before being configured into eight apartments in 1923. In 1990 it opened as a bed-and-breakfast inn.22. Presbyterian Church, 1905 – This church is built entirely of gray granite quarried from Bishop Peak, the second in the range of volcanic peaks that lead from San Luis Obispo to the Pacific Ocean.

3. San Luis Creek – The mission’s earliest source of water, San Luis Creek, can be found in many spots throughout town including at mission Plaza and along the creekwalk downtown.4. Judge Walter Murray Adobe, 1849 – At one end of mission Plaza you will find the adobe home of Walter murray, an englishman who came to California with Stevenson’s Regiment of New York Volunteers in 1846. murray printed the first editions of San Luis Obispo’s local newspaper, The Tribune, in this building.

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 1867 – One of the first episcopal churches in California, St. Stephen’s houses a pipe organ donated by Phoebe Apperson Hearst.9. Myron Angel Home, 1883 – This red Victorian was the home of myron Angel, one of the driving forces behind the establishment of Cal Poly. A publisher of The Tribune in the 1880s, Angel wrote History of San Luis Obispo County, California that was published in1883.10. Historic Railroad District, 1894 – The Southern Pacific Railroad route connected Los Angeles to San Francisco and brought the city into the industrial age. The district is now a busy neighborhood, which includes the train station and railroad museum, as well as many restaurants and businesses.11.

The adobe contains many original furnishings and is surrounded by gardens.12. Ramona Depot, 1889 – The Southern Pacific Railroad Company built the depot to serve the luxurious Ramona Hotel.

SLO is a place where family memories are made – taking a plunge at the water park, camping lakeside, exploring one of the many children’s museums, or playing in the sand and experiencing the tidepools at the beach. A day at the zoo, a trip to one of our many parks, or a glimpse of wildlife at the region’s coastline vistas and forests could become a new family tradition.

The almost endless supply of sunshine makes it easy to find outdoor adventure in San Luis Obispo. The tough part is deciding how to spend your time. Bike along the Bob Jones trail or on a scenic rural road. Catch a wave or fish off the pier at one of our beaches. Hike along the coastal cliffs or climb to the top of Bishop Peak for a stunning panoramic view. Camp out in the Los Padres National Forest or in one of the county’s 11 state parks. And with rolling green hills, breathtaking coastal vistas, and oak trees as far as the eye can see, there’s a scenic backdrop to suit every outdoor enthusiast’s taste.

Historical Monument includes a large visitor center with an exhibit about the Hearsts, a National Geographic movie theater with a five-story screen, a gift shop and food service . You can choose from six guided tours of the castle, two of which are wheelchair accessible and provide assistance for the visual and hearing impaired . All tours are rated by the number of stairs included . Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument is 43 miles north of San Luis Obispo via Highway 1 . Open daily except New Year’s, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day . Tours leave at regular intervals from 8 a .m . to 5 p .m . Spring and fall also feature an evening tour that allows guests to experience the castle as one of Hearst’s guests would have . During the winter holidays, the castle and its docents are decked out for the season .

For publishing baron William Randolph Hearst, happiness was a sprawling castle atop a hill overlooking extensive ranchlands and the rugged coast north of San Luis Obispo . Hearst Castle was a place “where Hollywood stars and the San Francisco elite were brought together by perhaps the only man colossal enough to stand astride both worlds,” according to Sunset magazine . It was designed by renowned architect Julia Morgan, built over 28 years and filled with Hearst’s prodigious collection of art and antiques from around the world . At once elegant and outlandish, the 250,000-acre estate consists of four homes, 165 rooms, 127 acres of gardens, 41 fireplaces, two pools and even a private zoo . At La Encantada (the Enchanted Hill), as he called it, Hearst entertained the celebrities of his era . Politicians, journalists, movie stars and European royalty frolicked in the pools, dined in the tapestry-laden dining room, enjoyed lavish costume parties and watched films in the Castle’s private theater .Today, Hearst Castle is one of the most popular tourist attractions in California . Hearst San Simeon State

Starting in San Francisco, expanding to New York City and building a publishing empire that would span the globe, William Randolph Hearst decided to build his dream home in San Luis Obispo County. Makes perfect sense to any local. Whether he was jet-setting (OK, prop-plane-setting) around the world,

building newspapers in the heyday of print or enjoying a horseback ride near San Simeon, the man’s only boundaries were set by his checkbook, which also knew no bounds. There is a reason it’s not called Hearst Cottage. Hearst’s “simple summer home” comes

fully loaded with golden swimming pools, guest houses and massive gardens overlooking expansive ranchlands and a rugged coastline. Where else can you get photo-bombed by a resident zebra?

There are several tours which highlight specific parts of the castle and gardens. Tour One is recommended for first-time visitors.

local wine, known worldwideSan Luis Obispo County’s wine regions produce award-winning vintages that are world renowned for their quality, craftsmanship and distinctiveness. Oenophiles recognize this area as ideal for producing superior Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and other Rhône varietals. Named Wine Enthusiasts 2013 Wine region of the year, the Paso Robles wine region boasts more than 200 wineries and tasting rooms, while about 30 are located near SLO. Some varietals demand the cooler air of the San Luis Obispo region, while others need the warmer daytime temperatures of Paso Robles. While you’re visiting, take some time to tour one or both wine regions to taste the distinction, and then bring a bottle (or more) home as the perfect souvenir.
