Jwalks presents San Francisco's Mission District and Noe Valley, the heart of San Francisco, located east of Twin Peaks, and nestled in a fog-free, sheltered valley. It's considered the city's own 'banana belt'. When tourists are freezing at Fisherman's Wharf, the sun is shining in the Mission and Noe Valley. This district is named for the City's oldest standing structure, Mission Dolores, built in 1791 by the Franciscan padres along El Camino Real, that stretches from Mexico to Sonoma. It's home to hundreds of charming Victorian homes, bustling marketplaces and colorful murals. Outside of downtown San Francisco, it was one of the first parts of the city to be developed and attracted working class Irish, Germans, Scandinavians, Italians, Mexicans and other Latin American's.
