The city of Santa Barbara, founded by the Spanish in the 18th century,
is considered to be one of the jewels of the California coast. It lies
approximately 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles, nestled against the
Santa Ynez mountains and overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Photographs of the area may be found
here,
and here.
In July, the days are warm (70s) and the nights are normally cool (50s),
with occasional morning fog. Nearby are many excellent ocean
beaches,
lakes,
forests,
mountains with varied
hiking trails,
and such man-made attractions as
Hearst Castle,
the flower fields of
Lompoc,
the Old World Danish Village of
Solvang,
the
Santa Barbara Mission,
Court House and
other
examples of Spanish architecture. There are
also numerous excellent local
wineries
that offer wine tastings and tours.
