Driving Downtown - St Augustine Florida USA - Season 1 Episode 14.
Starting Point: Bridge Of Lions. goo.gl/maps/r1VxwgHvm4u
St Augustine (Spanish: San Agustín) is a city in northeast Florida and the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the continental United States.[6] The county seat of St. Johns County,[7] it is part of Florida's First Coast region and the Jacksonville metropolitan area. According to the 2010 census, the city population was 12,975. The United States Census Bureau's 2013 estimate of the city's population was 13,679, while the urban area had a population of 69,173 in 2012.[8]
Saint Augustine was founded on September 8, 1565, by Spanish admiral and Florida's first governor, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. He named the settlement "San Agustín", as his ships bearing settlers, troops, and supplies from Spain had first sighted land in Florida on August 28, 1565, the feast day of St. Augustine.[9] The city served as the capital of Spanish Florida for over 200 years, and remained the capital of East Florida when the territory briefly changed hands between Spain and Britain. It was designated the capital of the Florida Territory until Tallahassee was made the capital in 1824. Since the late 19th century, St. Augustine's distinct historical character has made the city a major tourist attraction. It is also the headquarters for the Florida National Guard.

Wow! I had no idea the city was so Spanish. I used to live in Spain. Those narrow, cobblestone streets, the balconies and arches in the architecture and all the palms make it seem like aliens beamed up an old Spanish city and plunked it down in Florida. There are even Spanish forts! That so many of the buildings are flying the colors of the Spanish flag make its roots even more apparent. They’ve done an amazing job preserving the original Spanish flavor of the city. So glad they didn’t cover it with skyscrapers.

Like many southern states in the USA such as California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, there are also many species of palm trees grown in Florida. Many tropical trees such as palm, banana, coconut, Epipremnum aureum and many more are grown in St. Augustine. The subtropical or tropical climate of this area makes the flora here abundant. Many houses, buildings, and churches have louver-style brown wooden windows, balconies, and fences. The city has much influenced by the architecture of the Spanish and European colonial period in the 19th and early 20th century. Both of the federal and state flags are often flying outside the buildings. The Florida state flag has two red and yellow colors (like the Spanish flag). Overall, in my opinion, the city of St. Augustine is clean, quiet and ancient. However, roads and pavements for pedestrians of the city seem narrow.

I am so happy that I found this video! I have never been to St. Augustine. I am going to be 71 in August and my friend and I are planning a trip in early November. And our names are not Thelma and Louise!! But that is what we call ourselves because we just take off! I am so looking forward to this trip, coming from south of NOLA, we will spend the night in Destin, then head on to St Aug for a week.

But, I'm looking at wintering in the St Augustine area, and judging by the beautiful architecture, the history, etc., this looks like the place for me (sooooo not looking for a place like Miami). The one question I had: Are there a few camp grounds in the area? I'm assuming so, but wondered if you have any suggestions or know of the quality/reputation of some in the area? Thanks.

Great job on the video! My son lives there and we have been visiting St.A. for a week at a time for the past 30+ years . It really is a tremendous place with a million things to see and do. I don’t know what time of the year this was, but I have never see the city with so few people and cars although I’m sure today with the COVID situation it is even emptier. If you haven’t visited St. A. you owe it to yourself to go (when the coast is clear re: the virus). You won’t be disappointed and while you’re there, don’t forget to visit Hazel’s Hotdogs (hint - it’s not downtown. Go exploring and find it).

It was white with a red cross. Florida's current state flag is modeled after the old Spanish flag. There are many Hispanics and a few Spaniards here and there, but they're kind of reclusive. They just keep to themselves mostly.

They kinda just hang around up and down St.George St. and lay in the grass at Plaza de la Constitucion. I spend every chance I get in St. Augustine (3-4 times a month) and they have never bothered me or asked for money. I just don't like seeing them just hanging around. It kinda takes away from the atmosphere. But I guess they got to be somewhere.
