MAIN GEOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES
WHAT TO VISIT IN BIG SUR, HEARST CASTLE AND
SAN LUIS OBISPO
San Luis Obispo
Halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, San Luis
Obispo is an excellent hub to explore the surrounding coast. San
Luis Obispo downtown contains excellent examples of Californian
nineteen-century buildings and architecture.
Hearst Castle
44 miles north San Luis Obispo, the Hearst Castle - a former
vacations home of the media magnate William Hearst - is an
unexpected, extravagant and luxurious example of classical and
medieval European architecture in the Californian coast.
The Big Sur Coast
The Big Sur coastline is home of the most famous stretch of
Highway 1: here, sea and mountains landscapes form a marvellous,
capricious, wild travel attraction.

BEST TIME TO
TRAVEL TO THE BIG SUR COAST, SAN LUIS OBISPO AND THE HEARST
CASTLE
Summer is the most popular period in this region.
California's Central Coast is hospitable and agreeable to travel
most of the year. Fog often appears in summer, and nights are
fresh next to the coast. It almost doesn't rain in Summer, and
even in Autumn and Spring rainfalls are scarce (rainfalls appear
December through March).
But if you want to bet in hotel prices, Summer is the worst
time. The best time, in this case, is from April to early June
and in the September and October, when the weather is often
equally fine and crowds have gone.
Along coastline temperatures are often fresh, even in Summer.
Fog and cool breezes make coastal temperatures much higher than
those of inland: in Salinas or Carmel Valley temperatures can be
well warmer than those in the Big Sur Coast or San Luis Obispo.
Obviously, if you want to bet in accommodation prices, winter is
the better season.
WHEN NOT
TO GO
TO THE BIG SUR COAST, SAN LUIS OBISPO AND THE HEARST CASTLE
If you want to avoid crowds and benefit from lower prices in
accommodation, then avoid the most popular months and periods:
the summer months and the holiday periods.
If you want to avoid packed periods, then do not
visit the Big Sur Coast and San Luis Obispo in holiday times as Fourth of July WeeK, Spring
Break (1st week of March until mid April), Memorial Day Weekend
or the Summer Break (2nd week of June until 2nd week of August)
and the President's Day...
In the case of Hearst Castle visits, take into account that the
Castle is closed in
Thanksgiving, and in December
25 (though the Castle is specially decorated in Christmas
period) and January 1, and that the visit lines may be very long
in summer (in a time when temperature may tend to be high in the
hilltop of the castle).
