Sabado Historic Architectural Walking Tours of Santa Barbara

On the Sabado (Saturday) Tour, see the historic de la Guerra Adobe, El Paseo, the Hill-Carillo Adobe, the Meridian Studios, the Lobero Theatre and much, much more. Hear the rich anecdotal history of these buildings, their designers, and their builders. Learn what created the stunning transformation and forever changed Santa Barbara from ordinary to extraordinary. Celebrate with us the rich cultural heritage left by the first Spanish and Mexican settlers and those giants of Southern California Architecture Julia Morgan, George Washington Smith, Reginald Johnson, Joseph Plunkett and many others.

Casa De La Guerra, where the city held its first official meeting in 1875.

The historic courtyard of El Paseo,“Street in Spain”; De La Guerra St. Unfortunately this space is now taken up with businesses and offices, but it used to be full of cafes and botique shops which would have been fantastic.
