This quaint little town is excellent for a day trip! Start with a trip through Old Town. Have coffee at the Hidden House Cafe, shop at the unique stores, enjoy breakfast or lunch at Ramos House Cafe, take a walking tour of the Mission San Juan Capistrano, have lunch or dinner at Cedar Creek Inn (my favorite is their coconut cake) then have a cocktail at Trevors at the Tracks & watch the Amtrak trains go by until sunset. If you still have energy, stop by the Swallows Inn for some country music & dancing!
