IT🇮🇹 Proseguendo sulla Highway 1, la celebre strada statale più lunga della California che costeggia il mare, da Capitola Beach verso sud incontrerete la cittadina di Monterey. Situata sull'omonima penisola, fu la capitale della California messicana prima dell'annessione agli Stati Uniti. Anche qui come a San Francisco al Fisherman's Wharf abita una colonia di leoni marini. Se si ha tempo, può valere la pena fare una sosta.

EN🇬🇧 Continuing on Highway 1, the famous longest state road in California that runs along the sea, from Capitola Beach to the south you will meet the town of Monterey. Located on the peninsula of the same name, it was the capital of Mexican California before its annexation to the United States. Also here as in San Francisco at Fisherman's Wharf lives a colony of sea lions. If you have time, it might be worth a stop.
