Carmel, California began forming in the late 1800’s on ground previously occupied by the Ohlone Indians and the Spanish who built the still-existing Carmel Mission. After the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, Carmel became a haven for artists and bohemians escaping the big city. The history of the Carmel was formed by such artists as Jack London, Robinson Jeffers, Mary Austin, Upton Sinclair, Henry Miller and Ansel Adams. Carmel is still a city of artists and writers and many of them show their work in the over 90 art galleries.

Carmel, California is still home to famous people like Doris Day, whose pet friendly hotel is one the town’s classic inns. As mayor from 1986-88, Clint Eastwood brought even more reknown to the town of Carmel that is a vacation favorite for thousands of visitors every year.
