| One of the most
attractive residential areas of Silicon Valley, the
South San Jose community of Almaden is distinguished
by nice hillside views and "one of the most gorgeous
landscapes in America," according to the Greenbelt
Alliance website.
Almaden Valley's key attraction is Almaden Quicksilver
County Park, which contains remnants of a historic mercury
mine that produced more than $75 million in mineral
wealth from the Gold Rush era to the 1970s (the San
Jose mine's name came from the Almaden Mine in Spain).
The Almaden Quicksilver Park also boasts plenty of hiking
and biking trails and a spectacular wildflower display
during the springtime. Almaden Expressway helps make
the cultural attractions and amenities of the downtown
area easily accessible for Almaden residents.
