Albuquerque, New Mexico, could be the
place to fulfill dreams of a southwestern getaway. A
centuries-old Spanish church anchors Albuquerque's plaza,
chili-pepper-spiked delicacies are found on almost every
menu, and residential neighborhoods are chock-full of both
real adobe houses (made of mud and straw) and adobe-style
look-alikes (made of concrete and stucco).
Albuquerque is New Mexico's largest city and definitely
different from other cities in the state: Albuquerque is a
bustling, working town that doesn't run the risk of becoming
too precious or too exclusive.
Albuquerque's size has also helped it to develop a fine
lineup of attractions, such as the Albuquerque Zoo and Old
Town Albuquerque—many of which are located close together
near the downtown area. Even if you don't have a lot of time
to spend in town, you can see several excellent sites in the
span of a short drive and a few hours.
