This is an interesting question. You should dig into this and do a real report.

"Hispanic" should not group together, (as it seems is so often done) Spanish and Mexican populations. Hispanic refers to the Iberian peninsula (in this usage primarily Spain). Spain was defeated in the Mexican War of Independence in 1821 with many of the "royalists" (Spanish) being executed with many others returning to Spain. Things (like tourist attractions) created after that date are most properly considered either Mexican or American.

The remnants of Spanish "residency" in Los Angeles on Olvera Street were rebuilt about 100 years later by the White powers that be, as kind of a Chamber of Commerce type tourist attraction (a Hispanic Disneyland) to promote Westward movement of AMERICAN populations in the Eastern United States and land sales (It's purpose was not a celebration of Hispanic heritage which for the most part was shamefully destructive as to indigenous populations and Mexicans.

Dig into this story, it is not what you think it is...

Bottom line- The Spainish goal was CONQUEST and Missionaries were to be the first "foot in the door"....

To add to what Obvoiusman said...

Not really a tourist attraction but Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights is a unique LA/Mexican place. The subway stop with the same name is opening Nov. 14.

Never been to San Gabriel mission but it's in LA county and is a historic place built during Spanish missionary times.
