A capital city that I would like to visit

There are lots of cities that I would like to visit, but probably L.A. is the one that attracts  my attention the most. (I have changed the order here)

Los Angeles is the most extensive and populous city of the State of California. It has, according to the census of 2010, an estimated population of 3.792.621 inhabitants.

It was founded in 1781 by the Spanish governor Felipe de Neve. In 1821 it became part of Mexico, after breaking away from Spain, and later it became part of  the United States, in 1848. 

It is one of the major cultural, economic, scientific and entertainment centers in the world. Also, the city hosted two Olympic Games, in 1932 and in 1984.

Los Ángeles has a big variety of industries like cinema, music, television or art. The music industry of this city is one of the most important around the world. Here, were born lots of artists like the jazz players Charles Mingus and Eric Dolphy, the rock bands Red Hot Chili Peppers and Guns 'n' Roses,  and also the rappers Dr. Dre and Cypress Hill, among others.

Besides, L.A. has been the stage of many famous movies like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Training Day.

I hope that, whenever, in an uncertain future, I can visit this interesting city.
