San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo
Founded June 3, 1770 (2nd mission)
The Carmel mission is, without a doubt, the most aesthetically pleasing of the Alta California missions. The amount of resources spent on restoring and maintaining this complex is obvious. A couple of busloads of children were visiting the mission when I arrived. The interior was jam packed with people and soured my experience.
Father Junipero Serra is buried here. The picture above is a reenactment of his death scene. Morbid.
