We took a year-long vacation in Big Sur many years ago. Drove up to Carmel once a month for groceries and restaurants. I don’t remember the places mentioned here. Absolutely gorgeous drive and very pretty little town.. Almost bought a house in Carmel when Clint Eastwood lived there.
We lived relatively near Carmel and would stay there occasionally usually at the Vagabond Inn when they had wood-burning fireplaces. The restaurants and ambiance were out of this world. What a treat.
Where did you stay in Big Sur?
