Tourist Information
The communities that make up the south county area are bounded by the beauty of the Gabilan mountains to the east and the Santa Lucia's to the west. They are surrounded by the Valley's booming agricultural community, home to fields of lettuce, broccoli and asparagus, as well as row upon row of some of the finest wine grapes in the state.
There's hiking and camping, a wealth of California history to discover and a pace of life that's reminiscent of a less hectic time.
In a nutshell, Soledad is:
- One of the fastest growing
communities in Monterey County, if not the fastest
- More than a town, it is a
community
- Safe; in fact it is one of
the safest communities in Monterey County (less crime than the
sleepy town of Pacific Grove)
- Means value; your real estate
dollar has more purchasing power in Soledad than in Salinas (comparable
homes are tens of thousands more in Salinas)
- Leaders believe in education;
the city leaders are committed to providing the best education
for the youth of Soledad; a new high school is scheduled to open
in 1998
- Home to The Winds of Change;
plans are in the works for expanded shopping and revitalizing
the town
- Personifies country charm;
it is like a step back in time where neighbors help one another
and children enjoy summer evenings outside with friends and neighbors
- A Great Adventure!
