]]>New Mexico has only been a state in the United States of America since 1912 but has the oldest established state capital in the country. Santa Fe was discovered in the early 17th century by Spanish colonists and was inhabited before by the indigenous peoples called the Tewa. Santa Fe’s history of inhabitants makes this city unique and appealing to people with all backgrounds and interests. Santa Fe is the cross-section between Native American life, Spanish colonialism, and its nearby neighbors, Mexico, making this city well worth a trip.
Culture
Santa Fe has some of the most fascinating and aesthetically beautiful buildings, roads, and museums; it truly does not feel like you are in the US at all in the best possible way. The Palace of the Governors was once of the home of the first governor of New Mexico and is the oldest continuously used building in the entire country. The palace is now a museum which displays the history of past governors. The New Mexico History Museum is another place to get your history fix with well-designed exhibitions and easily digestible material.
If you are more interested in art, Santa Fe has local artists and artisans at every corner. There are museums like the Georgia O’Keefe Museum that holds a small collection of the artist’s work. For a better experience of her life in and out of the art world, take a drive to O’Keefe’s home and studio just a short drive away from Santa Fe in the town of Abiquiu. Within the city limits is the Santa Fe artisan district called the Canyon Road. There you will find beautiful pieces of art, pottery, jewelry and more all made locally.

La Boca is a tapas style restaurant which serves authentic Spanish food, such as fresh vegetables, beautiful olives, and amazing seafood. If you are looking to have a dining experience in a traditional setting, you must go to Cafe Pasqual’s. This restaurant cooks traditional Mexican food using both local and organic ingredients. When you go to Cafe Pasqual’s, you can really taste the Mexican heritage that flows through the city, and you won’t be disappointed.
Flamenco
Flamenco is a style of dance native to Southern Spain. It involves gorgeous costumes with a special type of shoe that makes a clicking sound. This dance made its way over to New Mexico when the Spanish colonists arrive and when you’re in Santa Fe, you simply cannot leave without experiencing it. Luckily, Santa Fe has plenty of options. El Farol is Santa Fe’s most historic and famous restaurant which serves delicious Spanish food. Not only will you be satisfied with the food, this establishment features flamenco dance performances. However, they book up quickly so you must make a reservation in advance. If you can’t get into El Farol, another amazing option is El Flamenco restaurant. El Flamenco also serves Spanish food and divine flamenco performances.
