Since 2020, we have discreetly relocated 28 premium families from San Jose, California to Granada, Spain.
Leave the specific tax burdens, structural challenges, and safety anxieties of San Jose, California behind. Experience a seamless transition managed with absolute discretion.
"Our estate in Almaden Valley was spectacular, but California's rising capital gains layers and the continuous corporate pressure of Silicon Valley felt unsustainable. Handing our relocation logistics to this firm allowed us to transition smoothly to a premium residence in Bola de Oro. The zero percent wealth tax structure here provides an incredible framework for our venture equity."
"Years leading software operations near the tech corridor left me ready for genuine privacy and a rich European cultural lifestyle. Moving to a stately residence in Realejo gave my family exactly that, paired with remarkably mild winters and stunning mountain views. The premium care at Vithas Granada easily matches the top private medical networks back in the Bay Area."
"Managing our tech investment portfolios from our private office near Willow Glen finally pushed us to prioritize global asset protection. This advisory bureau managed every single step of our Spanish immigration while we stayed in California. Swapping the frantic West Coast transit bottlenecks for Granada's historic traditional culture, the Sierra Nevada ski slopes, and the seamless 90-minute link to Malaga International Airport is an extraordinary upgrade."

Takes less than 2 minutes
Granada optimizes international wealth by waiving asset levies and capping active corporate income via specialized holding regimes (ETVE) under Andalusian tax advantages. Santa Clara County high earners face compounding federal brackets and California's top 13.3% progressive income tax alongside intensive municipal tax layers.
Granada anchors family legacies inside protective European frameworks with a generous 99% inheritance tax credit preventing estate depletion. The Silicon Valley legal climate carries intense exposure to aggressive civil litigation, rapid asset discovery, and high probate costs.
Granada provides high-value stability and consistent growth for luxury estates in premium enclaves like Serrallo. San Jose's high-end real estate suffers from macroeconomic corrections, tech-driven market swings, and regional corporate valuation shifts.
Granada guarantees excellent public safety and exceptionally low property crime across its premier residential zones. San Jose faces severe metropolitan property theft crises, persistent public safety challenges, and elevated security requirements for luxury properties.
Granada delivers world-class private medical care with minimal friction at premier networks like HLA Hospital Universitario Inmaculada or Hospital Vithas Granada. Santa Clara County private healthcare involves extreme out-of-pocket expenses, complex corporate insurance networks, and high-premium concierge medicine.
Granada replaces the shifting microclimates and tech-driven urgency of the Bay Area with reliable continental-Mediterranean warmth, over 300 sunny days, and a vibrant culture centered on mountain peaks and deep history. Both locations celebrate a premium culinary tradition.
Granada ensures efficient transatlantic arrivals directly at Federico García Lorca Granada-Jaén Airport (GRX) following a single short-haul transfer at primary European gateways like Madrid Barajas or high-speed AVE rail links. San Jose departures utilize premium flights from San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC).
