San Diego, California's second largest city, is among the most unique places to live in the United States. Where else can you visit the desert, the mountains, the city and the coast all in a day trip? The temperate, soothing climate draws people from around the country - and the world - to experiencing the Endless Summer San Diegans know and love. With 70 miles of beaches and gentle Mediterranean breezes, coastal communities such as Carlsbad, La Jolla, and Del Mar provide a rich, lush, and semi-tropical environment where you can always count on a sun-drenched morning for surfing, sunbathing, or just doing absolutely nothing. East San Diego County is hill countrylike no other. From any one of the high hills in East County, such as Mt Helix or Dictionary Hill, sunset fading behind the entire county is a breath-taking site to behold.
      With Tijuana, Mexico minutes away, internationality and cultural diversity are woven into the San Diego fabric as it has been from the beginning. Spanish and Native America influence permeates San Diego in various ways. It is hard to ignore the mark of the Spanish Padres - the original European settlers of the San Diego region. El Camino Real translates directly from the Spanish The Royal Road or The King's Highway. This Mission Trail is a string of Churches established by the Padres that extends from San Diego all the way to San Francisco. Far to the East, the Borrego Springs desert is a veritable treasure trove of ancient Native American settlement. The Anza-Borrego Springs Desert State Park is a local landmark with wild, wide-open spaces to explore all the desert has to offer.
     San Diego's economy centers on tourism, trade, agriculture, ship-building, the military, biotechnology, computer science and electronics.
The University of California, San Diego and nearby research institutes on Torrey Mesa provide a base for technological innovation and there are numerous high-tech and biotech companies in the area, such as Qualcomm, Neurocrine, Illumina, and Genentech of Oceanside. Major tourists attractions include the city's beaches and bays, Balboa Park with its many museums, the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, San Diego Wild Animal Park (in Escondido, north of the city) and Old Town, the site of the original Spanish settlement.
     Whatever you enjoy doing, San Diego is a premiere location to live, work, and play!
