Just 45 minutes from Santa Barbara lies the charming hamlet of Solvang. Perhaps best known as the most Danish of towns outside of Denmark, there is no mistaking its heritage. The windmills, half-timbered houses, boutique shops and bakeries filled with Danish pastries---all harken back to the motherland. Yet, along with this flash trip back to traditional Denmark, there are plenty of modern-day draws to keep tourists coming back for more.
