Each year, over 1.5 million people flock to the Santa Ynez Valley to eat aebelskivers, drink wine, and experience Danish culture in the city of Solvang. But how did we end up with our own slice of Denmark in California? Learn the history of this charming city!

Haven't been to Solvang since 1990, nice to see it is thriving now! Definitely need to plan a trip back up there, thanks for sharing Foo!

@californiography 6 месяцев назад

You’re welcome!! Yes, it’s really thriving, they’ve consistently beaten their previous year’s number of visitors. I really do love visiting it, one of my favorite coffee sips, “Good Seed Coffee” is there.

Great travelogue, Foo!! Even though I live less than 40 miles north of Solvang, and have driven through the town at least a hundred times, I have never actually visited the place. Maybe this year. Keep on doing these great vids!!

Thank you brotha!!! You definitely need to drop in at least once and see what the fuss is about!

We loved to stop at Solvang (if time permitted) while going to Pismo Beach to see relatives up there. Lots of nice shops and loved the architecture. Native Californian who moved many decades ago (job) I fondly remember California when it comes to things like this and the natural beauty of it. Grew up a proud California. (Governments, not so much. Sickened to see how much of the cities have been ruined by politics. Here's hoping Solvang escapes that.)

So far, Solvang seems to be doing pretty well. Each year the number of visitors increases.

Great video!! It’s been years since I’ve visited, I think it’s time to fix that!

@californiography 6 месяцев назад

Thank you!!! Yes, you definitely need to visit again!!

Cool video bro. One day I will make it up there and see it for myself. What exactly is an aebelskiver, and what does it mean?

@californiography 6 месяцев назад

Thanks bro!! Aebelskiver literally means “apple slices” in Danish, but it’s used to describe these little pancake balls that are sprinkled with powdered sugar and topped with jam. They’re pretty good!!
