St. Augustine, Florida
There are few places in America where one can capture the essence of Old World Spanish atmosphere in a modern, yet ancient, town. St. Augustine, Florida, is one of these places.
In 1586 Francis Drake, with a large force, came into Matanzas Bay and looted St. Augustine. Each year there is a blessing of the fleet for a bountiful season for those who go to sea.
St. Augustine's beauty and appeal covers many genres; untouched beaches, tropical temperatures, Old World ambiance, and European architecture vie for precedence. Beach-lovers flock here at all times of the year. History-lovers spend hours wandering the old Spanish streets with rustic balconied homes. Spirituality-seekers find many gorgeous churches to explore. And this is just a sampling of all St. Augustine has to offer.
