Nestled between Los Angeles and San Francisco, on the coast of California, Santa Barbara is bathed in sunshine all 12 months of the year. This harbour city is world famous for its exceptional climate, stunning scenery, lines of palm trees and white sand beaches. Shaped by its Spanish past, the city is particularly rich in history and culture. This heritage is particularly evident in its architecture, paved laneways and red tiled roofs. A pleasant place to live, Santa Barbara combines the culture and entertainment of an urban centre with the warm and relaxed atmosphere of a small town. The natural beauty of this region comes from a subtle mix of valleys, beaches and islands, between the mountains and the ocean.
