This summer, Treasures Of The West took a trip to the beautiful city of Santa Barbara. Just two hours north of Los Angeles, you arrive to one of the most symbolic cities of Spanish Colonial architecture in California. Here you'll find a city filled with red tile roofs and Spanish adobe structures on almost every street. In Santa Barbara, the mountains meet the sea giving it that Riviera feel, where you can stroll through a town that offers art, history, and culture.This is an easy getaway from the fast pace of the busy city, where you can enjoy the ocean, water sports, historic walking tours, wine tastings, hiking, art and music festivals, and much more!

We also took a trip to another California Treasure, to the island of Catalina.
Just an hour off the coast, you'll find yourself on a small island of paradise. Its historic landmark the Casino, is surrounded by anchored boats on a turquoise sea, giving it that Mediterranean feel. You can stay here on a boat, on land, or on the camp grounds. The island is filled with charm with it's famous hand painted Catalina tile seen throughout the town on benches, archways, and Spanish structures.
