Breathe the air of a city that birthed and inspired the great American author John Steinbeck, and, if you are lucky, follow in his footsteps when you move to Salinas, California. Located in sunny California, Salinas enjoys an enviable year round climate of perfection and an attractive setting filled with those Californian palm trees. The city is a cultural center with the National Steinbeck Center and The Steinbeck House at the top of the list. The art scene is cultivated by the First Friday’s Art Walk, with art exhibits and live music in non-traditional settings, as well as by numerous art galleries. The newest of which, @Risk Gallery, features cutting edge and visionary exhibitions. Salinas is also a major stop for the Rodeo, so get ready for some cowboy poetry and barbecue. If the art realm is not your foray, check out the local zoo, or the hiking trail park, Toro County Park, or the raceway. You will find no shortage of entertainment and recreation in this charming city. Salinas Valley, which encompasses the city, is the largest wine-grape producing region in the state. Thus, wineries are in great supply in Salinas, so stop by historic River Road and taste some of the country’s best wines.
