City Profile Santa Barbara, CA
Santa Barbara is also called the American Riviera, because apart from the Mediterranean climate it has, lying between the Ynez Mountains and the Pacific, the city also offers a high standard of living. In this warm climate, Santa Barbara ascended to one of the best areas of cultivation of wine. Along the State Street toward Downtown, there are many shopping opportunities, but one can be also culturally occupied and visit theaters, concerts, and museums. Another kind of leisure activities are night clubs, restaurants or festivals. In addition, there are all possible kinds of water sport, on the long sand beaches and in the Pacific. There are no highly built houses, but only elegant small hotels and other buildings in the city, and nearly each road is framed by palms and flowering shrubs. Also worth seeing is the El Presidio de Santa Barbara, an old Mexican-Spanish quarter, around the fortress Fernald Mansion. In addition, on Sundays there are Crafts shows, in which artists and craftsmen demonstrate their talents along the Cabrillo Boulevard.
