Then, let an easy walk take you for a glimpse into the cold war era while seeking this cache hidden on the grounds of a former military installation. Today it’s the center of San Pedro’s bustling creative community, but at one time, the barracks, bunkers, and tunnels here were host to our military men diligently protecting us from the ever present threat of coastal attack. In addition to sculptures and outdoor installation pieces, this hilltop is also home to interesting sites like:
