City of California on a mountainous land portion between the bay and the Pacific Ocean, it gets bigger from a Spanish mission based in 1776 and takes a big development during the gold rush of 1848-1849, then with the construction of the Panama canal in 1914. Destroyed largely by an earthquake followed by a fire in 1906 (it is placed on the San Andreas crack), it was reconstructed and spread on lands conquered on the bay. The famous cable cars always climb its sloping streets in landings. San Francisco is one of the biggest port of the country and the financial and cultural pole possessing several universities. In spite of frequent fogs, this city in the magnificent panoramas, suspended between two bridges (Oakland Bay, Golden Gate), attract numerous tourists. Its Chinese district ( Chinatown) is inescapable.
