New Mexico’s largest city sits at little over 5,000 feet in elevation, offering sweeping views of the majestic Southwestern landscapes surrounding it. Albuquerque, this intriguing city of a half million or so, owes much of its charm to the vibrant American Indian culture that shaped this region into the city it has become. This charming high desert city, founded in 1706 as a Spanish colony, features the old and the new, depending upon where you look in the city.
