He visits the Golden Gate in San Francisco

Every city of the United States can presume of an impressive architectural monument. If we speak about San Francisco: of which of them might it presume? Exactly, you it have said, of the famous person Golden Gate, symbol of the city and one of the big marvels of the world.

And the fact is that a tourist visit to the city of San Francisco would not be finished without the visit to this colossus on the waters of the bay. To appreciate his value, we should earlier know a little about his history. Constructed in the crazy American years 20, at the beginning of the Big Depression, this bridge constituted a symbol of perseverance and determination of the American people.

The bridge would end in 1937, and there became the longest bridge of steel of the world until, in 1964, the Verrazano-Narrows bridge was joining the city of New York with Staten Island and Brooklyn.

Who has ever exclaimed that this bridge is one of the big marvels of the world?. Possibly be the most famous bridge of the world, at least the most photographed: do not you believe?. Although Golden Gate can meet from any point of San Francisco, we are going to recommend to you the conference that are had from the Area of National Recreation of Golden Gate. For something more about 13 million persons a year they contemplate it from here.

This area, considered to be a National park, really is a set of parks that spread from the north of the county of San-Mateo up to the south of the county of Marin. Or what is the same, more than 75 kilometers across the coast. In summer, the people of San Francisco come so far to walk, to do senderismo, to mount in bicycle, to skate, and how not, to do to him you photograph Golden Gate, and even to paint it.

And if earlier we were speaking to you that we cannot go away of San Francisco without visiting the Golden Gate, we cannot go away precisely of his Area of National Recreation without moving up to the small island where the Gannet prison is. Although it has not lodged prisoners from 1963, since then visits guided by her can be done. Do you imagine to cover the same corridors for which it walked The Capone?.

I do not believe that Golden Gate and his surroundings make you feel indifferent in San Francisco. You will not repent.
