Los Banos travel guide

Los Banos is a city in Merced County, California, near the junction of State Route 152 and Interstate 5. The population was 25,869 at the 2000 census. As of 2006 the World Gazetteer calculates the population as 35,054. The name los banos has its origins with Spanish and was named after the nearby creek and the seasonal spring baths that feed natural wetlands in the western San Joaquín Valley. The original Spanish spelling was Los Baños, meaning "the baths". Its official spelling is without the eñe. However most official signs even on the Interstate 5 do insert the tilde above the n. It can be pronounced as if the eñe were present as in "los banyos" or as it is spelled, as an anglicized "loss bannis". The city is served by Los Banos Municipal Airport for air transport access.
