With its adobe walls and red-tile roofs, the peaceful, sunny coastal city of Santa Barbara is steeped in its Spanish past. Stroll the downtown's collection of Spanish adobe dwellings and El Paseo, a Spanish arts and crafts, shopping, and restaurant plaza built around the original Casa de la Guerra. Admire the tilework and murals at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse clock tower's observation deckfor a sweeping view of the city. Just to the east, the architecturally unique Mission Santa Barbara overlooks the sea. In nearby Mission Canyon visit the lush Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History with exhibits on the Chumash Indian tribe. El Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park was the last Spanish military outpost in the Americas. Also of note are the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. More than 30 wineries in the surrounding countryside offer tours and tastings.
