Salinas sits in the Salinas Valley of Monterey County, a farm city known as the Salad Bowl of the World for the lettuce and vegetables grown in its fields. It is also John Steinbeck's hometown, and the National Steinbeck Center in Oldtown Salinas honors the writer whose novels drew on this valley's farms, workers, and landscapes. Oldtown keeps historic buildings and a walkable main street, while the surrounding valley stretches toward the Gabilan and Santa Lucia mountains. Agriculture still drives daily life here, from field work at dawn to packing houses and markets.
