The village of Carmel-by-the-Sea offers an unusual mix of European, Spanish, Bohemian, whimsical, and California style architecture. Each shop, restaurant, or gallery has a unique character brought to life by the tremendous attention paid to the architectural details used to “dress” the buildings. Take a stroll through the photos below to get a small taste of the eclectic charm of Carmel.
