San Jose
Costa Rica's capital
San Jose is a major city in Northern California, located in the heart of Silicon Valley.
It serves as the tech industry's unofficial capital, home to countless startups and tech giants.
With over a million residents, it's California's third-largest city, though it often sits in the shadow of nearby San Francisco.
The name, Spanish for Saint Joseph, reflects California's mission-era heritage.
