El Camino Real
El Camino Real in California indicates the historical road of the Californian missions built between 1683 and 1834 of Sonoma (in the north of San Francisco) to San Diego (at the Mexican border). The road continues in fact historically to the point of the Low-California of the South in San Bruno, the first mission established in Spanish California. The legend says that the monks of the missions sowed seeds of Moutarde to the length of El Camino to mark the road with the flowers Jaune S of the plant.
Today, several modern roads follow the layout of the " more or less; way royal" history, and kept the name of El Camino Real, in particular the highway 82 which crosses San Francisco, Milbrae, Burlingame, San Mateo, San Carlos, Redwood City, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara. The Californian ones of north call familiarly this road El Camino .
To San Francisco, El Camino Real more or less follows the layout of Street Mission, which crosses the district of Mission, thus named in reference to the Mission San Francisco de Asís, better known of the public under the designation of Dolores Mission.
