Street is in the oldest part of Downtown Los Angeles, California,
and is part of the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument. Many
Latinos refer to it as "La Placita Olvera." Circa 1911
it was described as Sonora Town.

As
a tourist attraction, Olvera Street is a living museum paying homage
to a romantic vision of old Mexico. The exterior facades of the
brick buildings enclosing Olvera Street and on the small vendor
stands lining its center are colorful piñatas, hanging puppets
in white peasant garb, Mexican pottery, serapes, mounted bull horns,
oversized sombreros, and a life-size stuffed donkey.
