La Purisima Mission State Park is located between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara. Each mission in California was located one travel day apart by horse along El Camino Real (the Royal Highway).  La Purisima Mission was built in 1787, and was reconstructed after an earthquake in 1812.  It is well known for its two chapels and living history demonstrations throughout the year.

About Pam
