Mission Santa Barbara

- Where do you want to go?
- Santa Barbara
- Why there?
- I know everybody there...
(after watching too much Santa Barbara soap opera)


 Capwell times are already in the past, but Santa Barbara is still an american Riviera of some sort that almost everyone wants to visit or live in. But the city of Santa Barbara is not known only by its fancy resorts and beaches, and the glamour... the famous road of "El Camino Real" goes through the city - almost 600 mile road from San Diego to San Francisco that connected The Spanish California Missions in the old times. The Mission in Santa Barbara is one of those 21 missions. It's still in quite good condition despite having been built back in 1786. It's even shown in the opening theme for the namesake soap opera.
