Old Town San Diego

Old Town is frequently visited by both San Diego residents and tourists and features 25 restaurants within a mile radius. This popular attraction recreates the setting of California life between 1821 and 1872 when San Diego evolved from a Mexican village to an American frontier town. In keeping with that era, the park displays 22 historic buildings, and has 42 concession operators (mostly shops and restaurants) who pay the state a percentage of their revenues.
