352 366 inhabitants (1,9 million with the agglomeration, more than 40% of Costa Rica's population) live here at 1 150 m altitude. San José province is located in the very heart of the country, in the middle of the Central Valley, and its capital is the centre of the social, economic, cultural and, of course, political life of Costa Rica. The Josefinos and Josefinas, the inhabitants of San José, live in a spring climate all year round. An eternal spring due to the combination of the tropics and altitude; it averages 25 ° C from December to April (dry season) and 22 ° C from May to November (rainy season). You will often tell the city of San José as a city far from being pleasant. Now, if you spend a few days, you'll take pleasure in meeting the Josefinos and discovering their way of life. Often a perfect introduction to Costa Rican culture, even though San José is not entirely Costa Rica.
