Description
The tour begins at Mission San Francisco de Asis (also known as Mission Dolores), one of the oldest buildings in San Francisco. This chapel houses unique religious art and we will explore the rich history. You can enjoy its gardens and explore the only cemetery within the city limits.
Just two blocks away you'll find Mission Dolores Park. Formerly a Jewish cemetery. Now one of the most famous and crowded parks in San Francisco. The spring and summer months see the grass covered in blankets as locals enjoy community and sport. Crossing the park, we will pass by the Padre Hidalgo statute and head to see the "golden hydrant". This fire hydrant located at Church St. & 20th was the only functioning hydrant during the 1906 earthquake and fire. This single hydrant saved the Mission from destruction. This position being elevated offers a splendid view of the city.
We start from Mission Dolores Park to explore the surrounding neighborhoods where you will find extraordinary street art. You'll enjoy the hidden wonders within the Mission, as well as the Mission Community Pool, the Bnai David Synagogue, and the Women's Building which houses one of San Francisco's most famous murals.
Our next stop will be at Café de Olla, in the heart of the Mission. The Café de Olla restaurant makes everything from scratch, honoring Oaxacan-style cuisine where you will be tempted to taste typical Mexican dishes such as quesadillas, tamales, tlayudas and tortillas, along with typical drinks such as Agua Fresca, Ice Caffe da Olla and many other options. Courage and taste the “Chapulines”!!!
After enjoying the good meal, we continue our exploration of Mission Street. This lively and lively community, full of traditional shops and old theatres. The...
