To Your Health, Gazpacho!

Gazpacho is a traditional Spanish soup from Andalusia with roots in a time when Spain was occupied by the Moors. It became famous after tomatoes and peppers were brought back from the New World by the explorer Columbus. Recipes vary regionally, but basically it’s made of tomatoes, onions, garlic, bell peppers, cucumbers and bread moistened with water.

An Uptown Gem

Just off bustling San Marco Avenue in St. Augustine’s eclectic Uptown shopping district, there’s a tree-lined historic neighborhood where birdsong and church chimes fill the air. Passing through the jasmine-covered iron gate at 7 Rohde Avenue, you arrive at a stately Victorian mansion. Built by Henry Rohde in 1895, it’s now home to Neff Jewelers, a family owned jewelry store. Tucked under a majestic magnolia, it’s a refreshing contrast to franchise stores. “People say it’s like coming to a friend’s house,” says Owner Dan Neff. It’s easy to see why. Warm wood floors accented by Persian rugs and natural lighting streaming through the original windows are the perfect backdrop for precious metals and gems.

Harry’s Seafood Bar and Grille

Miss New Orleans? Head to Harry’s!

Harry’s is a small chain of family-owned New Orleans style restaurants located throughout North Florida. In St. Augustine, the coquina-walled courtyard is reminiscent of French Quarter establishments. With shade trees and bay front breezes, it’s a delightful daytime destination. Evenings, live acoustic music and white string lights evoke a European café. Inside, the restaurant’s hand-painted tiles and arched doorways reflect St. Augustine’s Spanish colonial past.

Country Carriages Beach Rides

Equestrian Adventures with Country Carriages

It’s a sunny morning as you saddle up at Vilano Beach’s Surfside Park. Soon, the fresh sea wind is in your hair and you’re enjoying the beach from a different perspective – on horseback. You’re minutes from the downtown bustle, but with the vast ocean beside you, a wide expanse of sand before you and nothing but blue skies above, you feel a world away.

St. Augustine Dining

Unparalleled Dining in the Old City!

When it’s time to decide where to dine, the setting is as important as what you eat. In St. Augustine the dining options are endless, and whether you choose a restaurant where candlelight shadow-dances on brick walls or a deck where sunlight bounces off the water, delicious food is close at hand.

Spanish Heritage

It's Authentic!

St. Augustine’s history was a push-and-pull between Spain, France and the US, yet the Spanish influence endured. Ponce de Leon’s landing in 1513 inspired the Bridge of Lions four centuries later. In Spanish, león means lion. Follow the lions’ gaze to the Plaza and the Cathedral Basilica completed in 1797. St. Augustine is the only urban center in the US whose architecture and street plan mirror its Spanish origins.
