OLD TOWN
The birthplace of Albuquerque, dating our City to 1706. Old Town is a mecca for southwestern art, style and flavor. The Plaza is the center, with the church, school, and gazebo at the core, and street vendors line streets and walls. Wander through the old adobes and learn or share stories of the old families and traditions of New Mexico. Stop in for some house made red and green chile. Stay a while. . .
