Episode description
Montecito, California, is a neighborhood with a rich history dating back to the time of the Spanish. Soon after the California gold rush the first of many hotels were built in the mountains above Montecito to exploit the natural hot springs. Combining the newly arrived railroad with a stream of health seekers brought wealthy visitors who stayed to build large estates during the late 19th and early 20th century. Montecito's past is characterized by a blend of Spanish influence, grand estates, and the allure of the coastal setting.
