Laid-back Santa Barbara is a city of white-washed buildings and red-tiled roofs, tucked between the mountains and the sea. Casual and friendly, Santa Barbara offers an extensive menu of culture out of proportion to the city’s small size. The eclectic culinary scene runs the gamut from distinctively regional experiences to exotic tastes, all complemented by world-famous, locally produced wines. The icing on the cake is near-perfect weather, affording limitless opportunities for fresh-air fun.
