Basking in a perfect Mediterranean climate year-round, San Luis Obispo, commonly known as SLO, has a charming downtown full of unique boutiques and restaurants in addition to the beautifully preserved Spanish Mission at the heart of the city.

With its laid-back, relaxed lifestyle, no one is in a hurry, and certainly, no one is in any rush to leave.
