Palm trees rise above the roofs,\n    while red bougainvillea grows over bright walls.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The architecture adopts the Spanish and Mediterranean-influenced design language\n    that still makes Santa Barbara so characteristic today:\n    arcades, stucco facades, warm roof tiles, and shaded passages\n    between street and building.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    A single figure on the sidewalk is enough to turn the architecture\n    into an everyday scene.
