Top 10 Shopping in Old Town, California (CA)
San Diego embodies laid-back California culture, complete with a Boardwalk, surfing communities, and outstanding Mexican food. Breathe in the fresh ocean air at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, then gobble down a fresh fish taco at a La Jolla seafood joint. The naval aircrafts at the USS Midway Museum will have you standing at attention. A free Sunday concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion is the perfect way to unwind after a Saturday night bar-hop in the thumping Gaslamp Quarter.

I stumbled upon this place when browsing through Old Town. This is a very cute little candle and soap shop. You can color your own candles here as a gift, and I did one for my mom as a gift. The staff was friendly and informative. I would return!

They put colored "gems" and "gold" into it and the children get to pan for gold and gems. It's really fun. And they really get a lot of treasure. You can not see the gems at first, but as they pan in the stream the dirt washes out and reveal the gems. They found 20+ purses each. Only 5.00 well worth it. Will go again for sure.

Strolling storytellers in period costume, live Mariachi bands singing crowd-pleasing rendition of "Oye Como Va" by Santana, local artisans demonstrating glass blowing, shopping, and restaurants inspired by 19th century San Diego life.
