Los Angeles, California has been called the land of dreams; translated from Spanish, Los Angeles is the City of Angels.

Commonly referred to simply as LA it's best known as the entertainment and movie capital of the world. Home to earthquakes, celebrities and innumerable movie locations, Los Angeles can only truly be experienced in person.

Typically, when people refer to Los Angeles, they are really speaking of Los Angeles County and even nearby Orange County cities such as Anaheim or the nearby cities of Malibu, Santa Monica and Long Beach in Southern California.

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the U.S by population and largest in square miles. It attracts visitors and residents from around the world with its balmy weather, Hollywood movie and television studios, beaches and California lifestyle.
