Why Los Angeles?
The City of Angels
Los Angeles is a city with many names. One of which is simply the city's initials, L.A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means “the angels” in Spanish. Los Angeles is a city with a sunny and warm climate giving it the nickname of City of Flowers and Sunshine.
Los Angeles is a city full of diversity which is another reason to visit. This city is full of many activities, from hikes in the Los Angeles National Forest, to a calming walk on one of many beaches. For a busier atmosphere attend a theme park, such as Universal Studios, or walk the busy streets of the Hollywood Boulevard or Venice Beach. If you are looking for some family friendly fun, head to Santa Monica Pier. There really is something for everyone in LA LA Land.
