“When people criticize LA, they are usually afraid of exploring, and probably too used to easy
cities where you don't have to fight to find beautiful things” - Moby
Access a secret Malibu beach, relax at a gigantic Korean spa open 24/7, watch Tarantino’s movie
collection, eat your burger the Californian way, meditate at Elvis and George Harrison's peaceful
getaway, shop a vinyl and a vintage dress in the same spot.
Soul of Los Angeles was written by Emilien Crespo, a writer and entrepreneur that has lived
and explored Los Angeles for a decade. He carefully picked the gems that make him love Los Angeles.
To bring them to life, he worked with two immigrant residents, the spanish
photographer Pia Riverola and the French illustrator Clara Mari.
