El Camino Real (Spanish for The Royal Road) refers to the historic 600-mile California Mission Trail which connected the state's 21 missions. Modern El Camino Real was one of CA's first state highways. Given the lack of standardized road signs at the time, it was decided to place distinctive bells along the route, which remain today.
