A tour of Santa Barbara. Solvang

9:00am – We leave Los Angeles for a tour of Santa Barbara.

First stop at the oldest pier in California. Sometimes, walking along it you can observe flocks of dolphins, which according to ancient legend are a symbol of Santa Barbara. Next, tourists will take a photo under the largest tree in the city. They say that under it can gather together about a thousand people. You can even play hide-and-seek in its roots. Downtown will be surprised by the lack of tall houses, as the style of Santa Barbara is low beige 2 or 3-storey houses with bright light-colored tiles. Here, tourists will visit one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, this is the courthouse, built instead of the burned old building in 1929. From here, climbing on one of the towers, you can from a bird's eye view, admire the panorama of the whole city. Here is the famous store of rented old things. If desired, tourists will be able to walk around it and perhaps buy something for themselves.

This city has one of the most beautiful California missions. Near it you can get acquainted with the way of life of monks of that time, stroll through the Rose Park and take beautiful photos. Then you will find another, higher observation deck, located on one of the green hills of Santa Barbara. And on the way there and back, you can get acquainted with the modern way of life of the “not the poorest” people of this town.

Later, tourists are waiting to move along a beautiful road through the reserve and the Chumash Indian reservation. In the valley where this tribe once lived, now there is an artificially created Lake Kachuma. We can stop here at the observation deck for a photo.

Our tour will end in a beautiful place, in the village that the Danes built back in 1911 and called Solvang. Translated as the Sun Valley. The Danish way of life is here. The same wooden houses, storks on roofs and mills. Tourists can try local, Danish sausages with beer, wine, chocolate and of course Danish pastries. On the streets, there is also a huge selection of souvenirs for every taste.

After a walk in Solvang, we go back. And in an hour and a half or two, we'll be in Los Angeles.
