Home originally to the Chumash Indians, the area that now includes Santa Barbara, California saw a
merger with Spanish, Mexican and North American influence in the mid-19th
century. Today, residents and visitors alike enjoy more than just the
warm weather, hot and cold springs and relaxing atmosphere. Unique
circumstances that created the Santa Barbara of today make it a premier
resort steeped in history and offering a wealth of cultural and recreational
opportunities. Stroll uncrowded beaches, check out world-class theater,
parks and historic attractions as well as gourmet dining and endless
shopping. Visit the nearby and scenic Channel Islands or one of the
many wineries that produce some of California's finest wines. Whatever
you seek, you will find it here in a perfect year 'round vacation land!
