Cambria Things to Do Tips by shivan Top 5 Page for this destination

GAME OVER

This is my last "tip" for this page about Cambria.
It is also to involve you in my last passion: taking pictures of tiny things! Actually I hope I'll change my mind soon...
Directions to Cambria:
heading north along the HWY 101, half the way from Santa Barbara to the HWY1 junction, there is a turn right. It is not evident so pay attention.
The road you'll take descends into a small valley for a couple of miles and directly crosses the Village.

Flags

The post office in Cambria.
Pointless is this picture, you may thik and you may be right.
The reason for I did it is personal, the reason fo I show it to you is instead to get the chance to say that nowhere in the world I have seen so many national flags waving in the wind as here in the United States.
Such a great national pride these people show!

Let's be honest now

At this point of my Cambrian story I owe people who followed me until now to be a bit honest, once in my lifetime.
This is another LANDMARK in Cambria.
A nice mexican restaurant, which I cannot obviously remember, where they served me what has remained the BEST BURGER in my USA trip.
I ate two of them

Signs

After having seen my opening picture, already used in my USA summary page to "call" this little one, you may have understood what I mostly liked in Cambria: the Signs.
Everyone of them is designed with particular attention and dedication, and they all give to the street a particular atmosphere, like I was in a village of Scandinavia or in Inverness.

architecture

Look at how nice was the architecture in this side street.
This street isthe only one having a decent size.
Snall shop are everywhere, and the place was not so crowded, even if Lonelyplanet warns to avoid the place because of large mass of vandals from abroad invading the village.

the village of the artists

Lonely planet super USA guide sells Cambria as a must-see-place saying that inhabitants proclaimed their village as the "artists' village".
Well, we say no artists around.
Ok, an artist don't go around with a t-shirt saying "Oh yes! I'm an artist!" but also nobody around seems to be one of them.
One should have parked this car there, anyway, who else ever buy this toy?

the usual structure

Like many other small USA villages, Cambria is bloomed along a main road, with no particular uniquity in this.
The part that grabs your attention is the buildings architecture.
It is so nice. Everything is clean and in perfect order, like on a movie set.
