The historic Danish village of Solvang is a unique getaway. It belongs to the Santa Barbara wine country of California. Most of the buildings really look like the houses in Denmark. I know because I was in Denmark years ago. Also the ambience is very similar, not just because of the buildings but also because the people who live there who are really very friendly.
Lovely scenery in the famous Danish town of Solvang in California. They built most of the town in the original Danish style. The people are very friendly and helpful like the first Europeans who moved into the area and helped each other to build and plant and grow.
Walking through Solvang in California feels like being in Denmark. Small galleries and shops with lots of flowers and decorations, really friendly merchants and fantastic little gardens, plus of course some windmills.
What a pleasure it is to indulge in authentic Danish pastries at a world-famous bakery in Solvang, the historic Danish village in the Santa Barbara wine country of California.
The historic Danish village of Solvang is a beautiful and unique place with about 5,300 very friendly people exactly like in Denmark. Even the roofs and the windmills are Danish. This is the entrance to the Brewing Company of Solvang.
