Every town has its pride and joy. In most cases, it's their Main Street, an area that shows off the town's cultural diversity and architecture. Cheapism rounded up a list of the most charming Main Street in every state. "Whether it's called Main, Broadway, Commercial, First, Market, or something else, every city and town in America has a main drag, the beating heart of the community," reads their blog post.

So where can you find the most charming Main Street in California? According to Cheapism, it's in a small town in Santa Barbara County called Solvang! Here's what the website had to say about the scenic Main Street:

"This cute-as-a-button town in Santa Barbara County was founded by Danish immigrants in the early 1900s. You won't find Main Street here, but Copenhagen Drive downtown is a good street to start on if you feel like exploring. Solvang is also a great base for exploring the wineries of the Santa Ynez Valley (just like in the film "Sideways")."

Cheapism also mentions that you can't miss The Little Mermaid statue, which is a half-scale replica of the one in Copenhagen. To see the most charming Main Street in every state, click here.
