California Dreaming
Planning a California trip, I stumbled upon this book and it felt like a treasure map, filled with hidden gems and local secrets. From charming towns to hidden hiking trails, it offered a glimpse into Santa Barbara beyond the usual tourist spots. What Makes Santa Barbara Unique hooked me. It painted a picture of a place with stunning coastlines, rolling wine valleys (hello, Santa Ynez Valley!), and a vibrant cultural scene. My fiancé and I love trying new foods and wines, so this chapter had us highlighting all the restaurants and wineries we wanted to visit.

Ultimate Travel Guide to Experience Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara is one of the most beautiful coastal counties on the United State Westcoast. This travel guide features the best ways to plan a visit to experience scenic views, enjoy delicious foods with wine pairing at some of the area’s finest wineries. The author did an excellent job highlighting and sharing in detail some of the best restaurants to visit and how to see Santa Barbar by car, boat and on foot. The downtown area is just one of many places to experience. Visitors can plan a trip to enjoy some of the events like Day of the Dead, holiday parades and the ever-popular holiday arts and craft shows.
The part of this book that resonated the most with me was the bonus information complete with phone numbers and web links. Plus, I enjoyed listening to the types of hotels at different rates from five stars to three stars. This information makes trip planning much easier and fun. Santa Barbara has a Mediterranean type climate year-round which makes it ideal for beach goers. I highly recommend this guide.

Great way to pull together your itenerary
Listening to this book was a great way to listen to what Santa Barbara had to offer, and I could write down the things that were of interest. I listened to the book while I was working and when I heard something that I wanted on my itinerary, I quickly jotted it down in my notebook. By the end, my list was huge! So then I went back through the things I liked and listened again because then I could help split them out by what would work best for the season I planned to go in. Great book. Love how it is organized!

As I listened to the audiobook, I felt like I was in the capable hands of a virtual tour guide.
