文图拉

的城市 文图拉 在很多方面都处于边缘. 一方面, it neighbors the urban buzz of Los Angeles County, but it also marks the beginning of the Central Coast’s lush farm 和 wine country. Its heart, though, lounges along the biggest edge—the Pacific Ocean.

在文图拉要做的事情

This is one stretch of the California coastline where the famed Highway 1 和 U.S. Highway 101 are one in the same: The road runs through the city’s central Midtown 和 College Area neighborhoods, 但很快接近海滩. 冲浪者的观点 is the best local spot to catch a wave (or watch the experts do it); for lounging 和 body surfing you have plenty of s和y options, 从旁边的海滩 文图拉码头 到…的广阔地带 港湾泳滩.

市中心的文图拉 也在沙滩旁边吗. The city center is home to shops, 餐厅, 和 任务的合资伙伴建于1782年. The mission is how the “city of good fortune” got its name—with an assist from the Southern Pacific Railroad, which abbreviated San Buenaventura to just 文图拉 in the late 1800s. 探索任务 历史公园, then walk the palm-tree-lined downtown streets for some shopping. Pick up a few pieces of beach-meets-open-road culture at 提基女孩 然后检查一下 铁和树脂, which appeals to both surfers 和 motorcycle enthusiasts. 如果你是极限运动的爱好者, you might want to time your visit to coincide with a hugely popular annual event that will be in 文图拉 in July 21­–23: 2023年极限运动会. 作为第一个全尺寸的, in-person staging of the competition since the Covid-19 shutdown, it’s sure to be one of the more intense weekends the city sees this year.

文图拉的餐馆

The town’s dining scene spans different generations 和 influences. Downtown, enjoy Americana on a plate at classic red-vinyl-booth diner 忙碌的蜜蜂咖啡馆, or try cutting-edge Central American cuisine at gastro-bar 野鱼酒. 你也可以在 当地的啤酒厂 如 阿纳卡帕酿酒公司 和 托帕托帕酿酒公司. Head to the Westside neighborhood for authentic Mexican cuisine along 文图拉 Ave. (aka “The Avenue”) at 餐厅 如 El Jarocho 和 位置,看得我目瞪口呆Tepatitlan. 当你在那里, 注意玉米饼平原的壁画, depicting the Mexican-American community that thrived here before 高速公路 20世纪50年代出现(然后退房 更多公共艺术 在镇).
