The Mission at San Juan Capistrano

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage - ABR - SRES

On a recent trip to Southern California to see our daughter, we took in the Mission at San Juan Capistrano. 

The only mission in Orange County and one of the oldest in California, San Juan Capistrano is know for the swallows who return every year on March 19, St. Joseph's Day. 

The return of the swallows is widely celebrated and visitors come from around the world to witness this annual migration.  On October 23, the Day of San Juan, the swallows begin their return flight to Argentina.

For history and garden buffs alike, the Mission at San Juan Capistrano is perfect for this Scenic Sunday.

Thanks Karen.  I think one of the things that I liked best was that it didn't fee  "touristy"  and everyone was very reverent in the Serra Chapel.  Peaceful and beautiful.
