On the outskirts of the town of Solvang is the Mission Santa Ines. One of the most striking features of this mission is the abundance of California pepper trees, with gnarled trunks that appear almost hand-carved, and clusters of red berries hanging from each branch. These magnificent trees covered a pathway on the grounds with pictures painted on wood planks depicting the fourteen stations of the cross. Nestled amidst the foothills, there is a tremendous sense of peace to be found on the grounds at Santa Ines.
