          will be fundamental to your holiday. You will certainly
        
        
          need to rent a car to get around and you should expect to
        
        
          stay in relaxed accommodation en-route. Indeed, some of
        
        
          the classic hotels spotlighted are famed for their relaxed
        
        
          style and understated luxury.
        
        
          Where better to start a tour of Southern California than Los
        
        
          Angeles, the “City of Angels”. Its climate has often been
        
        
          described as “perfect” and with good reason. Most days
        
        
          are sunny and warm, with gentle ocean breezes in the
        
        
          summer. The humidity is lowwith little rain. In fact it would
        
        
          be fair to say that there are no unpleasant seasons.
        
        
          Covering an area 20 times the size of Manhattan you can
        
        
          easily devote a good week to unravelling the sights and
        
        
          taking in the cosmopolitan buzz. LA is the entertainment
        
        
          capital of the world, a cultural mecca boasting more than
        
        
          300 museums. There are “must-see” tourist attractions like
        
        
          the iconic Chinese Theatre along with the Walk of Fame’s
        
        
          collection of stars (numbering 2,482, and growing by one
        
        
          or two amonth), visit a working Hollywood film studio (see
        
        
          below), strut your stuff on the “hip” boardwalk of Venice
        
        
          Beach, shop until you drop on Rodeo and Ventura
        
        
          Boulevards, attend a music concert, take in the city’s
        
        
          famous street art ...the list goes on and on but with so
