Los Alamos
Los Alamos (Spanish for "the cottonwoods") is located at the northern entry to the Santa Ynez Valley at the junction of US Highway 101 and State Highway 135, surrounded by vineyards and ranches; the town has an old-time rustic sensibility. The seven-block-long main thoroughfare has a large antique mall in the historic train depot, quaint shops, a cafe, an art gallery, several restaurants and wine tasting, a 1880s hotel, Victorian bed & breakfast and two motels. Each September, Los Alamos Old Days honors the town's 1876 founding with a weekend-long celebration.
