🏰🌹 Southern California | Century-Old Vintage Garden
🪨Just a half-hour drive from Irvine lies a hidden gem, a Spanish-style garden by the sea in San Clemente. Established in 1927, this garden boasts nearly a century of history. Though small in size, it offers a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere. 🧱 Every element is essential: red bricks, white walls, green plants, and floral tiles. The archways paired with tropical greenery have a distinct design flair, and the various floral tiles add a touch of charm. The aged architecture has a quiet magic, with every brick and tile exuding a soothing energy. 🌿This place is perfect for a peaceful stroll, resting on the corridor or garden benches, slowing down to feel the sunlight playing on the plants, admiring the blooming flowers in spring, listening to the distant sound of waves crashing on the shore, and visiting the small museum exhibiting oil paintings of the sea. 🤍A small regret is that due to a landslide last year, the sea-facing balcony is temporarily closed. A 5-7 minute walk from the garden is the San Clemente Pier. Grab a cup of coffee at the pier's entrance and spend a half-day in a daze on the beach. A perfect day is just like this. #SpringOuting#ExploreASmallsTown#SpringStrollGuide#SpringParkGuide#BestSpringSpots#ChasingSpringBlossoms#LosAngelesHiddenGems #IrvineArea#LosAngelesStrollGuide#CaliforniaSmallTowns
