Malaga Cove Plaza in Palos Verdes is spectacular and features a reproduction of a fountain called "Fontana del Nettuno" or Neptune's Fountain which was installed in the main square in Bologna, Italy during the 16th Century. Neptune, the god of the sea, is surrounded by cherubs and mermaids. The one in Malaga Cove was dedicated February 16, 1930 and repaired and restored in the late nineties. Since my parents lived in Bologna and two siblings were born there, this holds a very special place in my heart. The plaza itself harkens back to classical, beautiful architecture of days gone by and is very Mediterranean. Stop by the local grocery store/deli and you will be surprised at the offering in the deli - home made hummus, dolmas and tabouli that is quite delicious! Recommendation: Buy some of these goodies and sit on the steps of Neptune's Fountain like the Europeans do!
... to my lifestyle blog about Los Angeles from a different point of view.
"My" L.A. centers mostly around the quiet, natural surroundings of Palos Verdes and the laid back atmosphere of the South Bay. I'll also include the occassional foray into West L.A. where cultural offerings, outstanding restaurants and hip stores proliferate.
I hope you find this site to be interesting and a good resource for exploring Palos Verdes and the lifestyle of one particular Angelino.
Happy Reading!
FEEDJIT Live Traffic Map - Where in the World?....
Having many interests, I've been an avid traveler since I was in high school. Along the way I've tried sky diving, scuba diving and white water rafting, and some of my favorite experiences have taken place right in my own backyard - cooking, photography and enjoying the beach.
Professionally I've helped 120+ entrepreneurs build their wellness practices nationwide, I've headed up hospital marketing departments, have been published in national publications and asked to speak half way around the world on thermal spa tourism.
I mainly write for the spa and wellness industries, as well as a number of private clients and my newest segue is to turn my travels into published works.
