Santa Barbara Mini Guide
Santa Barbara occupies a charmed location in
California situated between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains. This is a very attractive city which is known as the American Riviera as it attracts beautiful and wealthy people. Having a car here is a must as there is little in the way of public transport. The city is well served by the U.S. Highway 101 which takes a scenic route along the coastline. You can drive north to
San Francisco, or south to
Los Angeles. Both cities are a long way but every vehicle comes with unlimited mileage.
