“Culture is literally in the air in Santa Fe. There are free outdoor concerts at the central plaza bandstand all summer long, and six miles from the heart of town the spectacular outdoor amphitheater enthralls opera-goers. Outdoor enthusiasts can hit the hiking and biking trails that run through the surrounding terrain or head to the ski slopes at the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, about a half-hour drive from downtown.” ~ view article.
“This small but sophisticated jewel of a town has superb arts, good restaurants and an ethnic mix without the frantic pace or anonymity of big-city life. It also embodies the best of the Southwest, proudly proclaiming its tri-cultural blend of Hispanic, Native American and Anglo traditions, its stunning natural setting, and its proximity to limitless outdoor options, from hiking to skiing to mountain biking. Situated at 7,000 feet in the high desert of New Mexico, this has been a coveted spot for 400 years, since the Spanish first established Santa Fe as a capital city.” ~ view article.
