What about San Diego? Here is the best about this city: almost 3,000,000 inhabitants, only twenty kilometers far away from Mexico and international tourism attractions such as the Art, History and Science Museums located in amazing Balboa Park and San Diego Zoo.

San Diego, a Californian city, has much more to offer than big beaches and large shopping malls!

The Gaslamp District is the historic centre, the cultural-artistic recreational hub with theatres and live music entertainment, but above all, one of the most innovative ‘Food Destinations‘ in the U.S. Here you can find high-profile contemporary venues with famous chefs, rooftop bars and dance-floors.

Nowadays, it is common to opt for km zero sustainable products coming from nearby requalified areas and farms, the so-called post-covid food and wine ‘Production Farm’ located in San Diego’s area.

…But you can also find Italian and Mexican restaurants, American Burgers and Cafés with cinema, California local cuisine based on grilled fish and meat, New York or Brazilian cocktail bars in typical chic environment ‘Gaslamp Quarter style’.

Why Gaslamp Quarter? The characteristic 50 Gas Lamp street-lamps were installed after the mid-1800s on the streets of the same area, at that time called ‘New Town’, to regenerate it from social degradation and economic impoverishment.

The same neighbourhood was previously called ‘Old Town’, which is Gaslamp District today, an area of ​​Hispanic origin.
