Comment from Hudson
It has been said of Santa Barbara that if you’re scribbling down a list of To-Do things, it’s better to make them in pencil rather than in pen. This is because of the American Riviera’s location on the map. This petite paradise is a gorgeous little stretch of land, just removed from the LA sprawl.
Its population is largely affluent and youthful making Santa Barbara a good stop for many touring artists and music groups, so you, the visitor, will be well-off visiting any time of year (especially with its world-renown excellent weather), but with so much to do, plans can change quickly.
