Historic San Juan Capistrano is located right in the heart of the Mission. One of 21 all along California's coast from San Diego, to San Francisco. This is the 7th mission placed, and the only one in Orange County. Each mission is located within a day's journey on horseback and because Orange County is so small, there is only one mission in it's boundary.
