Raw Travel host Robert Rose explored this charming Central Florida town and discovered what we already know and love about Sanford – it's the region's best kept secret, with an eclectic mix of diverse restaurants, craft beer breweries, art galleries, an enviable music scene and natural beauty to spare. The episode was co-produced with Will Henao, founder of the private marketing initiative HistoricDowntownSanford.com.
"I fell in love with historic downtown Sanford the first time I visited," Rose said in a statement. "I was surprised by the relaxed vibe and the variety of food, entertainment and outlets for artistic expression. But it’s the friendly, proud and tolerant locals I treasure most."
