Mission San Carlos Borromeo del Rio Carmelo


Mission San Carlos Borromeo del Río Carmelo

California Historic Landmark number 135.  We visited this mission on November 27, 2021.  The 2.5 hour drive from Fresno was pleasant.  The weather in Carmel was beautiful;  78 degrees.  It has been restored and is the nicest of all the missions we have visited to date.  Is is located on the south edge of Carmel and is minutes from Highway 1.  The rooms, of course, are closed off.  The courtyard is spacious and very inviting.  There is a museum and a small cemetery on site.  The cost was $10 per adult, and it was well worth it.  Visit about-the-mission for history on the mission.  Apart from being a California Historic Landmark, it is also a National Historic Landmark.
