California History Walking Tours

The first Spanish pueblo and first capital of California, the city of San Jose is now considered the capitol of Silicon Valley and a link to a computer industry that reaches all corners of the world. How did a sleepy Spanish pueblo evolve into the center of a computer revolution?  We will take the people and events that shaped San Jose off the pages of history books and reveal the colorful Spanish and Mexican past AND present that continues to influence the modern face of this city. Come get a taste of history!
