We've been living in Silicon Valley, California for the last 26 years. We love this place. It's incredibly beautiful. Pacific coast is a short 20 min drive away with breathtaking vistas. San Jose is the center of Silicon Valley, it is full of history , it has many nice museums, theaters, parks for everyone to enjoy.
San Francisco with all the major attractions is a 40 min drive to the north.
This area has so much to offer. For the lover of outdoor adventure there are many beautiful hikes, biking trails, redwood groves to explore and hidden beaches to surf. For the gourmand there are many word class wineries, Zagat rated restaurants, shopping.
And on top of this all we enjoy incredible weather throughout the year. So there is no bad season to visit California.
