Lots of them, probably all of them. San Diego is oftern referred to as the "Mother of the Missions. Monterey is "Mission Carmel" but also "The Father of the Missions" San Antonio is the "Mission of the Sierras" San Gabriel "The Moorish Mission" San Luis Obispo as "Mission of the Bears."San Francisco as "Mission Dolores." San Juan Capistrano as "The Pride of the Missions" or "Mission of the Swallows." San Buenaventura as "Mission by the Sea." Santa Barbara as "The Queen of the Missions" La Purissima as "The Linear Mission" Soledad as "The lonely Mission" San Juan Bautista as "The Mission of Music" San Miguel as "The haunted Mission" or "The Mission on the Highway" San Luis Rey, "King of the Missions" Santa Ines "Mission of the Passes" Sonoma as "The last Mission." There is nothing official or sanctioned about any of these nicknames they have arisen over time because of various characteristics or history of the missions.
