Santa Catalina, the Island of Stars

Los Angeles is the city of celluloid, luxury and fun. Right there, only about 35 km away, is the island of Santa Catalina, the island of stars.. We call it that because of the strong appeal that this island has had for several of the celluloid stars, who in their rest periods did not hesitate for a moment to escape to contemplate the sea from the balcony of some luxurious hotel.

More than XNUMX movies have been made on this small but charming island, another reason why it has become so popular. Santa Catalina was the preferred destination for filmmakers to shoot outdoor scenes that required beautiful views and landscapes. This is how his image was immortalized in hits like Jaws (1975) or Treasure Island (1932).

Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe or Charles Chaplin were regular visitors to Santa Catalina, many of whom acquired properties there or rented them for long periods of time. The beautiful port that precedes it gives rise to a dynamic and unpredictable life. In the main city, called Avalon, there are lots of luxury hotels, bars and nightclubs that are full of young, beautiful and wealthy people for the most part. Although there is always room for everyone. Indeed, excessive tourism has made the island no longer a highly sought-after recording destination. However, the protagonists of the big screen always take time to visit Santa Catalina, the island of stars.
