San Jose, Costa Rica

San Jose, Costa Rica

San José is the capital and largest city of Costa Rica.  Located in the Central Valley, San José is the seat of national government, the focal point of political and economic activity, and the major transportation hub of this Central American nation.  Founded in 1738 by order of Cabildo de Leon, San José is one of the youngest capital cities in Latin America by year of conception, though it was not named capital until 1823.  Today it is a modern city with bustling commerce, brisk expressions of art and architecture, and spurred by the country's improved tourism industry, it is a significant destination and stopover for foreign visitors.  We were only there for a day but a place I would not hesitate to go back to.
