Welcome to Mexicalifornia. And no, I’m not talking about immigration policy or demographic trends or domestic hiring habits. I’m talking about that spell from the early 1820s to the late 1840s when California was Mexican.
All it takes to bring those years back, touristically speaking, is three or four days on the road, roaming between the rolling, wine-rich Sonoma hills and the cool, foggy coastline of the Central Coast. Even without the historic underpinning, the route makes for a classic California road trip. But this way, you end up with an inkling of what went on after Junipero Serra retired and before that guy found gold at Sutter’s Mill. “*
