It is also a major center for whale watching, with more than 27 varieties fround in the coastal waters. Originally the home of the Chumash Indians, both the Spanish and the Mexican governments once claimed Santa Barbara as their own. The town became a part of the U.S. in 1850, when California was granted statehood. This diverse history makes Santa Barbara a wonderful place to explore the Spanish-American heritage of California. You can also give your vacation a more European flair with a side trip to Solvang, which features authentic Danish architecture and Scandinavian cuisine.
