Santa Barbara – America Riviera



Santa Barbara in California has the Mediterranean climate and many buildings in the city are Spain Colonial style. So the city has been praised as the American Riviera like the regions in France and Italy. The city is built on a slope and Santa Ynez Mountains rise vertically behind the city. The art museum is surprisingly good and has many masters’ pieces like Monet’s. One of Monet’s paintings is called Villas at Bordighera which is the scene in Italian Riviera. The landscape and plants are just like the mountains and plants in Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara is a very nice city, small and clean. But many homeless people on the street are very unusual in a city like it. I wonder if this is because the residents are very tolerated for homeless.
