Santa Barbara, California
Reviews > North America > United States > Santa Barbara > Santa Barbara
by Santa Barbara, which is a halfway point between San Francisco and Los Angeles is easily the most gorgeous and I've ever been to by far. Nicknamed the "American Riviera" because of it's extremely beautiful scenery, wonderful beaches, enjoyable climate and pleasant mountains which corner the resort, it is obviously a top destination that everyone should see.
I adored the place and still adore it, it's very unique, since the architecture dates to from Spanish colonization. The fact that the area itself is very wealthy also means that unfortunately it is very expensive at the same time. Nevertheless, Santa Barbara offers you a lot, owning many famous and renowned bars, clothing stores, restaurants and more at State Street.
The best part of it, however, is the beach, it's just fascinating as it gets, totally enjoyed it to the fullest.

Some of the greatly designed buildings that resulted after the earthquake are the El Paseo, a complex of shops and restaurants restructured from a section of the Casa de la Guerra, and El Presidio which is now a state park that commemorates the site where Santa Barbara was originally settled in 1782. You can visit the historic part of town on a 1 to 3 hours self-guided walking tour called the Red Tile Tour because of the building’s architecture. It is also where most of the nightlife scene is centered. You can help yourself with maps and guide of the tour from the visitor center. You should go on visiting the entire city as it is really...
