Lonely Planet review for La Arcada

Near Figueroa St, this historical red-tile passageway was designed by Myron Hunt (builder of the Rose Bowl in LA) in 1926. It's filled with boutiques, restaurants and whimsical public art - check out the back pocket of the window washer to see what's on his reading list.

    So beautiful!

    jackstone recommends this,

    Right in downtown, this is one of the prettier passage ways in town (and that's saying something!). So many art galleries, and little boutique shops with great stuff! It's right off of State street so obviously it is close to everything else in town. So cute though, well worth the visit for sure. Great sculptures of Ben Franklin and other miscellaneous people are positioned all throughout the walkway. Very cool stuff! Whenever I'm in Santa Barbara I always stay at the Sandman Inn (www.thesandmaninn.com). So affordable and it is the best place to go home to after a long day out venturing around SB!
