HBO's Big Little Lies is now on air, and most people have glued their eyes on the buildings and architectural scenery of Monterey Bay, California. The Huffington Post reported that about 2.1 million viewers had watched the series drama which was based on the book by author Liane Moriarty.
Monterey is an animal-friendly county. The Californian County preserves their fauna and would like to see each hunter in a strapping license for them to know whether they're real or not. In fact, touching a butterfly or setting a mouse-trap without any license will get you to pay a penalty of $500. Moreover, the county has four national protected areas, nine marine conservation sites, and five endangered species to protect.
Castroville is the Artichoke Capital of the World. A population of not more than 7,000 takes care of their produce in such a way they even held a pageant for it. In 1947, that first title was given to Norma Jean, whom the world knows as Marilyn Monroe.
Monterey's Custom House is the oldest living building. Built in 1827, the custom's house is a Spanish Colonial style edifice made by the Mexican government. The custom house is California's first historical landmark where U.S. Commodore John Drake Sloat raised the American and declared the state to be part of the U.S.
The coastal town attracts various artists. According to the Architectural Digest, many artists and writers retreat to Monterey for a little peace and quiet. Because most of them stayed here, many buildings like libraries, theaters and printing houses were built.
