California
The state of California is located in the west of the USA and has not only been highly praised and adored in many world-famous songs by the Beach Boys. The people of California are as diverse as the landscape, industry and history: all ethnic groups come together in the most densely populated state of the USA. The proportion of Hispanics and Latinos is rising steadily and shaping the appearance of the huge cities of California to an ever greater extent. But California has so much more to offer….
A trip to California Dreaming…
In the “Golden State California” there was and is not only gold mines to be discovered. The 424,000 km² state offers three different landscapes and climatic zones, each of which invites you to enjoy a unique vacation in its own way. The west of the country is characterized by breathtaking cliffs, which are often bathed in fog, especially in the south. The cool air of the Pacific ensures pleasant cooling on the hot days of summer and rainy moments in winter. Without a doubt, California is one of the most sought-after surfers’ paradises in the world, so the beaches are literally overcrowded with real surfer boys in summer.
In total contrast to this beach area of California are the immense and very impressive mountains of the Sierra Nevada, Klamath Mountains and the Cascade Range. Here a blooming flora and unique views in summer invite you to go hiking, biking, climbing and other outdoor activities. In winter, numerous winter sports enthusiasts use the immense amounts of snow for extensive skiing and snowboarding. Finally, the appearance of the Californian paradise is shaped by a barren desert. The Mojave Desert extends over the four states of Utah, Nevada, Arizona and California and has an average temperature of 45 degrees in the months from July to August. In addition to this extreme heat and the resulting barren and arid landscape, the specialty is the extreme temperature fluctuations: at night the temperature can drop to minus degrees. The most famous place in this desert in Las Vegas (Nevada), which literally extends like an oasis in the desert.
As almost everywhere in the USA, numerous national parks can be found in California and are really recommended. The special feature of Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, Redwood as well as Yosemite National Park lies in its trees: Here you can find the tallest (coastal redwood), thickest (giant sequoia) and oldest (awn pine) trees.
California is particularly known for its “fruit orchard of America” (Fruit Belt). In this particularly fertile area, exotic fruits such as dates and almonds, but also lemons, oranges, avocados and grapes are grown and exported to the USA and all over the world. Since the area requires particularly extensive maintenance, it is one of the largest energy and groundwater consumers in the USA.
Multicultural population
As early as 1965, California replaced New York as the most populous state. Today the state has around 36.5 million residents with a total of 200 different languages. This number of high language varieties already suggests how many culturally different groups live here. Aside from white-skinned Americans, the largest ethnic group is Hispanic and Latinos, who currently make up almost 40% of the population. Most of these Latin Americans come from Mexico: The Californian area has always been populated by many Mexicans (see “The History of California”). Later, when a lot of cheap labor was needed in the country’s expanding industrial areas and the US immigration laws were changed, a real boost to Hispanics came to Southern California.
The Hispanics are coming – and there is little space left for the Indians. The indigenous people of the USA are increasingly being expelled from California and with them the 100 or so languages they only speak are dying out. So while one culture is becoming more and more established in California, the other is slowly dying out.
