California is one of the 50 states of the United States and the third largest state. It's a very diverse state, with natural landscapes such as Yosemite and Sequoia National Park, and a coast with fantastic beaches for all tastes. It has a Mediterranean and temperate climate, with mild temperatures; this is the golden state, as the sun shines almost all year round. Los Angeles is the most populous city and, along with San Diego, are two of the top three cities. The official language is English, and Spanish is considered a second language. Its currency is the American dollar (USD). The time zone is GMT/UTC-8 and GMT/UTC-7 (in daylight saving time).

California's cuisine is marked by fusion, integrating different styles with local and fresh ingredients acquired from Californian farms, adapting to the season. However, its true star is wine; California produces 90% of American wine and is the world's fourth largest producer.
