Gilroy

Great shopping, great company, and great food. Just like any town there is a east side and a West side. But gilroy is so small that when your from gilroy, and you meet another gilroyan in another city it’s pretty cool.
I’m happy to Unilocal about gilroy garlic town. Where the vampires scurry to hide from all known garlic breathers and eaters. Known for smelly garlic Gilroys name was born from a non Spanish permanent settler named John Gilroy. I love Gilroy because, even though I wasn’t born here, I grew up here. It will always be my ‘hometown’! We’re sort of a hidden gem. We’ve got the great restaurants, all sorts of winerys, outlets, agricultural land, a theme park, the garlic festival, great homes, entertainment, and more!
Gilroys own Christopher Ranch has been the largest grower of garlic in all California! The Gilroy garlic festival of course, is the biggest event of the year here in Gilroy, drawing thousands of visitors from around the world every year. So be sure to drop by, there is soo much to do here.

«Dave» @ Gilroy Car Care: Dave just repaired my 2009 Corolla today and saved me an estimated $ 140.00 to $ 150.00 Dollars! The Dealer would have charged me this much more for replacing the water pump. Once again Gilroy Car Care did a stellar job in just a few hours. Thanks Gilroy Auto Care and Thanks «Dave».

MmmM Oh Holy land of Garlic!

Smells great and no vampires.

Famous daves is the best thing about this town. Oh wait there is one in San Jose… im going back

I’ve lived here in Gilroy for about 5 yrs now, and I have no regrets. A huge upgrade from San Jose. I grew up in San Jose and it can be very ghetto in all areas. I actually enjoy the smell of garlic in the summer. Its great! Keeps all the evil people away. Gilroy is very clean, not too many people live here, and you cant forget about the Gilroy Outlets (shopping). I’m happy here =)

What an awesome town Gilroy is and it’s the garlic capital of the world. Christopher’s Ranch is the largest family owned garlic producers in the US. shipping over 60 million pounds of fresh garlic each year.
This is a neat town to visit, especially during the annual Garlic Festival where you reek of garlic after wards for days! Cook offs, vendors, garlic ice cream, you name it! Gilroy Premium Outlets have 145 stores at 25% to 65% off everyday.
They have a great Aquarium and a new 75 Acre park, offering rides, restaurants, gardens and one of a kind «Circus Trees». I have not been to the park, which is named Gilroy Gardens.
The town is quaint and the gateway to the central coast lines of California. Minutes south of the infamous Silicon Valley, Gilroy itself offers great Wineries.
Do not pass this town by, pay it a few days visit, it’s a lot of fun and very unique.
