A seaside resort city, generally referred to by the locals as “The Village By The Sea”, Carlsbad is one of California’s most trafficked tourist destinations.

Carlsbad’s rather curvy and extensive history began way back when the Spaniards stomped around California like a pack of, well, Conquistadors. They quickly named the natives Lusieños (die to their proximity to Mision De San Luis Rey) and went about carving out the land on account of their conquest.

After this period Carlsbad continued on a copied chronology similar to other hamlets of the area. First the Spaniards, then a couple ranch grab by the Mexicans, with a finalized deed of land to a wealthy American.

The main difference to Carlsbad’s tale came at the end of the 1880s lead by the hand of a sailor and soldier of fortune by the name John Fraizer. Fraizer, desperate to make a living, dug a well in the area and started offering his water at the nearby train stop (the now aptly named Fraizer’s Station). The man struck gold in the form of liquid ecstasy. It was discovered, after careful analysis, that the fresh water had an identical chemical compound as some of the most renowned spas and springs in the world. The area’s fame blossomed. Marketing officials and a savvy city council quickly naming the town after the legendary Spa in The Bohemian city of the Czech Republic, Karlsband.

A consortium of mineral water companies was formed, and with it Carlsbad's fate was sealed: in less than a century the town has become a beacon vacation spot.

Within its borders, aside from Californian beaches, you'll uncover a LEGOLAND Resort, a couple of Skateparks (this is, after all, where skateboard legend Tony Hawk made his bonafides) and a smashing airport.
