Welcome to the Lower Riviera Garden Oasis
Sightseeing
This is a short walk from the apartment. When you hear the 8:55am bells on Sunday, walk quickly and you'll make the service. It is a great place to take in the history of Santa Barbara, not to mention its architecture, gardens and vistas. During Fiesta Days, there is phenomenal music and dancing with colored lights on the Mission.
