San Diego Fort in Acapulco

Acapulco
When we talked about then we go back to sun, sea, sand, beaches full of fun, clubs, piña coladas, restaurants, sea food, sunscreen-smeared bodies in so, we go back to the fun, relaxation and the magnificent sunsets of the Mexican Pacific. Acapulco
know, is the biggest beach center and be amazed of Mexico that offers variety of fun and flavor.

Today we speak of Acapulco unknown to us, we will go back to a historical monument located on this side of Guerrero, today we will talk of Fort San Diego was the most important marine strength of the Pacific Ocean and is located in the heart of Old Acapulco.

is important to note that without the Fort of San Diego would not have lived so many things in this place and the current would not now presume Acapulco or Mexico would be today that we have today is full of nuances and culture.

Acapulco in Nahuatl means "place of reeds" (acatl = cane, pul = thick or dense, co = place)
History
Acapulco was inhabited by primitive groups, this is demonstrated some petroglyphs have been found and we suggest human settlement from 3000 BC
Subsequently a Nahuatl indigenous group settled in the wonderful land, this group was the predecessor to the Aztecs, they were the Nahoas ...

Following the arrival of the English sailor was commissioned by Hernan Cortez in search of new seaports and arrived in Acapulco on the day of Saint Lucia and that is why this bay is named.
Later after the fall of the Aztec empire in 1521, Acapulco was conquered by the English rule by Juan Rodríguez de Villafuerte. The English used the port as a ideal site to build ships to conquer other territories, these ships were sent to help Federico Pizarro in the conquest of Peru.

settlements and colonization of English in Acapulco begin until 1551, at the time the Nahua Indians were enslaved and removed from their home.

In command of English, Acapulco became a major commercial center on the trade route between the Far East and Spain. From Acapulco sailed several expeditions such as Francisco de Mendoza to the south pacific.

Fray Andres Urdaneta in 1565 sailed from the Philippines and arrived in Acapulco Bay, he was the first man navigating a route that would stretch for over 200 years by the famous Nao de China also known as the Manila Galleon.

Silks, spices, gunpowder, ivory, carpets, cotton, pearls, lakes, rice, porcelain, chests, fans, screens and all kinds of food were exchanged for products from Spain, Peru and Mexico as tomatoes, peppers , corn, cochineal dye, seeds, sweet potato, snuff, chickpea, watermelon, wine and silver.
The silver bars or coins was so important that was trading large quantities of Mexican silver coin became the most common currency of the South Seas.

Once the Nao de China reached Acapulco, Asian goods were taken to Mexico City by mule and then journeyed through Puebla to Veracruz, Jalapa, Oaxaca El Bajio and other important towns. Once the goods arrived in Veracruz, other ships taking her to the old continent.
In this trade route, there was a very important exchange of people, art, food and many products, everything was a treasure in goods, had an annual fair in Acapulco, hence what is known as flea markets of Acapulco; These riches pirates attracted British, Dutch and other nationalities, including Sir Francis Drake, who hid their boats in the bay of Puerto Marqués and plundered the ships full of treasures.

Because of these pirate attacks in 1615 was built this important Fuerte de San Diego to protect the galleons or ships carrying goods from the Far East.

from 1565 to 1815 the boats made the route from Manila to Acapulco and back. The boats were La Nao de China or Manila Galleon in New Spain and the Acapulco Galleon in the Philippines. It should be noted that this voyage could take six months and in cases of storms to get to 8 months, plus they took different routes back and forth due to the conditions and sea surface. Later

Acapulco in 1810 played a key role in Mexico's independence, José María Morelos y Pavón Acapulco and the English besieged surrendered at the Fort of San Diego, final resting place of them in 1815.

So let the Manila Galleon sailing at the time of independence, trade with the East came to an end.

For over a century, Acapulco stay in the abandonment, but in 1920 opened a new path that will communicate with the City of Mexico. The journey lasted more than a week, but there were enough travelers who visited and this prompted the construction of the first hotel in 1934. From there the popularity of Acapulco dawned, processing as a tourist destination began when the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII, visited the bay on a fishing expedition.

Since then, Acapulco has been an excellent host for nationals and foreigners, and that shows us a tourist infrastructure capable of supporting the rising demand of passengers.

But let's Fuerte de San Diego you can visit and learn more about this fascinating story:

Strong current structure dates from 1776, is a reconstruction of the first that was left in ruins because of a terrible earthquake. Noted for its star-shaped geometry of five peaks

This strong as I mentioned served to protect the Nao de China, which brought goods from Manila, Philippines.
