Adventure in the elcome to La Villa Real de la Santa Fé de San Francisco de Asis! Fortunately our forebears shortened the name to Santa Fe, and along the way, Santa Fe also acquired an unusual nickname: the City Different. If this is your first time in Santa Fe, you’ll soon understand why. Santa Fe was the first designated UNESCO Creative City for craft and folk arts, and with its 250 galleries boasts the third largest art market in the country. Subsequently, plentiful unique shopping opportunities abound in town and when visiting the nearby eight northern Native American pueblos. With jaw-dropping 360-degree mountain views, more than 325 days of glorious sunshine a year, perfect sunsets and 1.5 million acres of pristine national forest, Santa Fe is a naturally inspired setting for a retreat from the ordinary. As the country's oldest capital city at 405 years old with the highest elevation in the country at 7,000 feet, Santa Fe is the perfect place to start your own adventure. The Plaza, the epicenter of downtown Santa Fe, and the Palace of the Governors, known as the oldest continuously occupied government building in the United States, were built in 1609 and 1610, respectively. Native American artisans from some of New Mexico's 19 pueblos still sell jewelry and other wares beneath the Palace’s long portal, as they have for hundreds of years. But while history plays a major role in Santa Fe’s current persona (our unique blend of Native American, Spanish and Anglo cultures influences everything from local architecture and art to jewelry and cuisine), there is a modern sophistication to Santa Fe that rivals any metropolitan city. Enjoy world-class entertainment at the Santa Fe Opera or dance to live music at the Plaza Bandstand, then sample from the City's 250 restaurants. Internationally renowned chefs delight in elevating New Mexico’s favorite ingredient, chile, to new culinary heights. Santa Fe has been rated the number one small city to visit in the United States and one of the top U.S. destinations in the world for travel, romance, culture, art and food. There is so much to see and do; you’ll need (and want!) to come back again and again to cover it all.

Feel like taking it easy? Many Santa Fe hotels offer spa services, so try a pumpkin facial or a relaxing couple’s massage. Take in a show at the Lensic or a performance at the Santa Fe Opera, or wind down with a romantic dinner at one of Santa Fe’s exquisite restaurants to nourish your body and your soul after enjoying live music at the Bandstand on the Plaza.

Romantic and Relaxing

CHRIS CORRIE

Self-indulgent Fun

With so many things to do—plus opportunities to take it easy—Santa Fe is perfect for girls' weekends, reunions with college friends and celebrations of all kinds. Shop at the city’s fabulous boutiques, where you can buy everything from handmade jewelry to designer cowboy boots. Discover New Mexican cuisine by taking a class at one of the city’s excellent cooking schools, and then let someone else work the stoves while you dine at a nationally recognized restaurant. If you’re looking to relax, head to a world-class spa for a therapeutic soak in healing waters.

Santa Fe can satisfy even the most adventurous and active soul. Cyclists love our hills, and runners, hikers and mountain bikers seek out the area’s many scenic trails. Take to the skies in a private hot air balloon or ride the rapids on a rafting trip down the Rio Grande. When the weather turns cold, get caught up in the winter fun with skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice skating and snowblading.

Plaza/Downtown

History Meets Hospitality

chris corrie

Back in the day (that would be more than 400 years ago), the Plaza, originally a presidio, or fort, was the epicenter of Santa Fe life, government and commerce. A defensive wall surrounded houses, the governor’s residence and a garrison. Today the Plaza, still the epicenter of the city, has a considerably more friendly vibe, with fabulous museums, restaurants, art galleries and shops lining the perimeter of the grassy park. Some of the city’s finest hotels and oldest landmarks are within blocks, making the Plaza and downtown area the ideal place to immerse yourself in Santa Fe’s past and present.

Canyon Road

Stunning Canyon Road has come a long way since its dirt trail days of centuries past. Now Santa Fe’s most famous street is an art lover’s mecca, with more than 80 art galleries showcasing contemporary sculpture and paintings, works by old masters and traditional Native American weaving, ceramics and jewelry. With its beautifully preserved and restored adobe and Territorial-style homes, Canyon Road is architecturally artful as well. The mile-long street is eminently walkable and distinctly Santa Fe, boasting the highest concentration of art galleries in the U.S. Several restaurants and cafés help you recharge before hitting the next amazing shop or gallery.

In New Mexico, chile reigns supreme. When you order New Mexican food, be ready when your server asks you “Red, green or Christmas?” Don’t forget to order a sweet, puffy sopapilla with your meal.

Work hard and play hard, Santa Fe–style. Hike the beautiful Aspen Vista Trail, soak in the hot tubs at Ten Thousand Waves and dig into a warm comfort meal at local favorites Tomasita’s or Maria’s.

During happy hour, it’s all about the rooftop. Settle in at the Bell Tower Bar at La Fonda on the Plaza, the Rooftop Cantina at Coyote Cafe, the Thunderbird Bar & Grill, Rooftop Pizzeria or the Drury Hotel's rooftop bar—all great spots to relax while watching the sun set.

A vibrant Southwestern history is alive in the Midtown area. Cerrillos Road, stretching from the far southwestern edge of Santa Fe and ending almost at the Plaza, is Santa Feâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very own piece of Route 66 (before a 1937 alignment moved it south of Santa Fe). Along the historic trade route, the Santa Fe Indian School was built in 1890 as a boarding school for Native American youth that later became the esteemed Institute of American Indian Arts. Outstanding family dining options such as Dr. Field Goods and Blue Corn Brewery, regional consignment stores like Jackalope and The Raven, specialty shops like Santa Fe Stoneworks and the Fashion Outlets of Santa Fe are conveniently located in this neighborhood.

Our hearts have been dancing ever since, and yours will soon be, too. Named La Villa Real de la Santa Fé de San Francisco de Asís—which translates to The Royal Town of the Holy Faith of St. Francis of Assisi—today Santa Fe is famously known by its nickname, the City Different. With its rich cultural history and vibrant modern-day offerings, unusual and magical Santa Fe has a one-of-a-kind adventure waiting that you must experience to understand.

paradise for history buffs, art lovers and cultural explorers, the moment you arrive in Santa Fe, it hits you: This place is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. There are 19 Native American pueblos in New Mexico, and eight lie near Santa Fe: Nambé, Picuris, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Ohkay Owingeh, Santa Clara, Taos and Tesuque. Some pueblos, such as Taos and Santa Clara (specifically its Puye Cliff Dwellings), may be explored. Santa Fe’s history is some of the

2015 Official Santa Fe Guide

History and Culture

Tricultural Tradition Stroll along the Plaza and you’re walking in the footsteps of Santa Fe’s ancestors. A blend of Native American, Spanish and Anglo cultures, Santa Fe’s rich and fascinating history dates back to the arrival of nomadic Paleo-Indians in this region around 10,000 BC. Their descendants were the original settlers of the area and the architects of adobe structures and the Pueblo style that defines Santa Fe’s distinctive look even today. Spanish explorers in search of gold first arrived in the Santa Fe area in the mid-16th century, eventually settling here and establishing Santa Fe as the capital of Nuevo Mexico around 1610.

anta Fe—the oldest capital city in the United States—celebrates birthday number 405 in 2015. In many ways, though, the city seems timeless. The Plaza, a one-block square in the center of downtown that’s served as Santa Fe’s cultural, social and political hub for four centuries, is the heart and soul of Santa Fe.

Santa Feans have been making history for more than 400 years.

SantaFe.org

John schum

Anglo settlers began making their way into the Santa Fe region around 1750, with thousands more pouring in following the creation of the Santa Fe Trail in 1821 and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway in 1878. In 1824, under Mexico, the Spanish province of Nuevo Mexico became the Territory of New Mexico. But in 1846, the United States claimed possession of New Mexico, spurring the Mexican-American War. Two years later, in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico ceded nearly all of present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico to the United States. New Mexico was admitted to the Union as the 47th state in 1912 and celebrated its centennial of statehood in 2012. The histories of both the state of New Mexico and its ancient capital city are rooted in the interaction between the area’s early settlers. Those interactions define Santa Fe even today, with the city’s diverse cultural history apparent in everything from the local art and architecture to the cuisine.

ann Murdy

Santa Feans have been making history for more than 400 years.

Adventurous Celebrations

chris corrie

Santa Feans are social creatures, and our celebrations are legendary. Santa Fe even has a festival season that extends from May through October and includes more than 40 markets, festivals and shows. With dry, cool, sunny summers and autumns, can you blame us for wanting to set up shop outdoors? (See Events, page 54, for details.) Some Santa Fe festival traditions are new—like the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, now in its seventh year—but many, like Fiestas de Santa Fe, the oldest continuous community celebration in the United States, have roots in the city’s earliest days. Other can’t-miss events in and around town include the world-renowned Indian Market, Spanish Market, International Folk Art Market and Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT

SANTA FE CULTURE?

adrian wills

We still hold public burnings. Santa Feans annually purge themselves of their worries with the public burning of Zozobra (aka “Old Man Gloom”) around Labor Day. The 50-foot marionette moans, groans and thrashes in harmless fury while visitors and residents alike joyfully envision their troubles going up in flames with him. ¡Viva Santa Fe! Set your heart aglow with a visit to Santa Fe during the holidays. Farolitos light up rooftops and walkways across the city, spirits are bubbly and the city celebrates the joy of the season, Santa Fe–style. If you’re lucky enough to be visiting over Thanksgiving weekend, head to the Plaza on Friday when the lights are turned on, announcing the official kickoff to the holiday season. Las Posadas, which starts and ends at the Palace of the Governors, re-creates the biblical journey of Mary and Joseph as they searched for shelter the night Jesus was born. On Christmas Eve, sip hot chocolate or cider and join thousands of others strolling down Canyon Road during the annual Farolito Walk.

Distinctive Style The three main styles of architecture in Santa Fe are Pueblo, Territorial and Northern New Mexico. In the oldest parts of the city, new buildings, additions and remodels must conform to one of the styles, which are identified as the following: Pueblo – Inspired by Native American adobe buildings and Spanish mud-brick churches, the Pueblo style features earthcolored stucco walls with an adobe-like appearance, rounded corners at intersections, brick flooring, rows of vigas and flat roofs drained by canales. Although at one time mostly one-story, today’s Pueblo-style buildings are often multistoried. See this style when you visit the Palace of the Governors, La Fonda on the Plaza and the New Mexico Museum of Art.

Northern New Mexico – The area’s early settlers added pitched roofs to their Pueblo-style homes to facilitate snow runoff and prevent destruction to their roofs and homes. See this style when you visit the Pink Church Arts Center on Pacheco Street and El Zaguán on Canyon Road. 24

SantaFe.org

MARK KANE

Territorial – The Territorial style is similar to the Pueblo style but features sharp-cornered walls, brick coping around the roofline and wood-trimmed windows. See this style when you visit the Catron Building (northeast side of the Plaza), the Drury Plaza Hotel on San Francisco Street and various homes on Canyon Road.

AMONG TOP 10 INTERNATIONAL CITIES FOR ART AND ARCHITECTURE

STEPHEN LANG

Santa Fe is synonymous with art. Bursting with more than 250 fine-art galleries, standout museums and up-close experiences like studio tours, live demonstrations and hands-on classes, Santa Fe is the third-largest art market in the country after New York and Los Angeles. The local art scene traces its roots to ancient Native American traditions, to the Spanish Colonial era that began more than 400 years ago and to European and East Coast artists who settled here in the early 20th century. Today you can browse historic art-filled adobes along Canyon Road, wander warehouse-like exhibition spaces in the Railyard, catch thought-provoking shows Downtown or on Museum Hill and visit a nearby Pueblo to experience traditional Native American art as it's being handcrafted. Discover for yourself why this modern-day art colony has not only survived but thrived over the centuries and experience firsthand how its collection of everything from the classic to the contemporary, the ancient to the avant-garde, makes Santa Fe a mecca for art enthusiasts around the world. 2015 Official Santa Fe Guide

One of the top cities for art

The historic heart of Santa Fe is a hub of fine-art activity. Two of the four museums that contain the Museum of New Mexico collection—the New Mexico History Museum and New Mexico Museum of Art—are at the Plaza, while nearby, 20th-century modernist painter Georgia O’Keeffe and her contemporaries are celebrated at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Native American art takes center stage under the portal of the Palace of the Governors, where, every day, Native artists sell their handmade jewelry directly to the public. Native art also figures prominently at leading galleries like Niman Fine Art, Golden Dawn Gallery and The Russian Art Gallery, as well as museums like the Pablita Velarde Museum of Indian Women in the Arts and the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts—the only museum in the world that showcases the work of contemporary American Indian artists. South of the Plaza, the State Capitol’s Governor’s Gallery, part of the New Mexico Museum of Art, presents six exhibits a year featuring works by prominent presentday New Mexico artists. The building also contains the Capitol Art Collection, comprising almost 600 paintings, sculptures, textiles, glass works, ceramics and mixed media pieces. The City of Santa Fe Community Gallery at the Community Convention Center exhibits and sells works by Santa Fe and New Mexico artists.

Canyon Road

The mile-long Canyon Road was designated a Residential Arts and Crafts Zone by the City in 1962. Authentic, historic adobe homes are now galleries specializing in 28

LewAllen Galleries

Downtown

Western, Native American and contemporary art. Standout spots include Ventana Fine Art, Canyon Road Contemporary Art, Gallery 901, Meyer Gallery, Mark White Fine Art, The William&Joseph Gallery and Barbara Meikle Fine Art. Over the last two decades, the amount of cutting-edge, conceptual and contemporary realist art on Canyon Road has grown exponentially.

The Railyard

Anchored by cutting-edge contemporary exhibition space SITE Santa Fe, which opened its doors in 1995, the Railyard has been luring forwardthinking artists and art enthusiasts for almost 20 years. The 50-acre neighborhood has seen an uptick in the number of visitors and leading galleries like Zane Bennett Contemporary Art following the completion of a major renovation in the fall of 2008. Today the Railyard, with its cafés, boutiques and farmers market, is a popular community gather-

ing spot as well as a thriving art center. Visit the Railyard Visitors Center at the historic depot at 410 S Guadalupe.

Museum Hill

Situated on Camino Lejo, a hillside street southeast of downtown accessible by city transportation, Museum Hill offers four distinct art institutions. The privately owned Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian are at opposite ends of the short drive. In between you’ll find the remaining

the

constituents of the Museum of New Mexico: the Museum of International Folk Art, home to the world’s largest collection of traditional folk art from around the globe, and the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture and Laboratory of Anthropology, which presents Native arts from the greater Southwest region with a focus on the ties between art and its historic and cultural contexts. The Santa Fe Botanical Garden, opened in 2013, covers more than 12 acres and reflects the diversity of the Northern New Mexico landscape.

Public Art

More than 70 public art displays throughout town enhance the beauty of civic buildings, public parks and Santa Fe’s transit system, thanks to a 1986 legislative act that requires New Mexico to set aside funds for acquiring or commissioning works by local artists. The public works on display represent the diversity of art found in Santa Fe, including the arching granite sculpture of 27 cutthroat trout by local artist Colette Hosmer titled Current Santa Fe, and

Santa Fe’s performing arts venues bustle year-round with offerings large and small, classic and cutting-edge. The center of it all is Downtown’s Lensic Performing Arts Center, a 1931 Spanish Renaissance–style auditorium that once hosted the likes of Judy Garland and Rita Hayworth. Today the Lensic features music, dance and literary events both traditional and contemporary. You’ll find plenty of power performances elsewhere in the city at places like Warehouse 21 and the Center for Contemporary Arts as well as at numerous outdoor venues around town.

Tuneful Good Times

Spend an unforgettable summer evening at the Lensic Performing Arts Center open-air Santa Fe Opera, which attracts world-class singers from Europe and New York’s Metropolitan Opera. From July through August, enjoy new and classic works while taking in both the show onstage and the one beyond it: the sunsets, rainstorms, clouds and night sky. Pre-show tailgaters make a night of it with gourmet picnics and champagne

in the parking lot. Get your fill of classical music performances at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival (also in July and August), the Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus (fall through spring), and Performance Santa Fe (August through April). Choral aficionados can hear the Santa Fe Desert Chorale in the summer and winter months at venues like the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. In July, there’s the New Mexico Jazz Festival, featuring two solid weeks of saxophone and trombone solos (and more) on the Plaza and at the Lensic, while closer to Labor Day you can catch the Santa Fe Bluegrass & Old Time Music Festival at the Santa Fe County Fairgrounds. In June, July and August, don’t miss local and regional talent performing Latin jazz, blues, rock, Andean music or a fusion of genres free Monday through Thursday at the Santa Fe Bandstand on the Plaza, or take in the family-friendly outdoor concerts at Music on the Hill, presented by St. John’s College. The Railyard’s Summer Concert Series features free shows by local and nationally recognized performers, and of course you can also enjoy live performances at restaurants and bars throughout the city.

If you want a little history with your theater, visit the Santa Fe Playhouse, the city’s oldest theater company and the oldest continuously running theater west of the Mississippi. Productions range from Ibsen dramas to Shakespeare comedies to the annual BenchWarmers plays (eight 15-minute pieces written by locals). For those with avant-garde taste, Theater Grottesco offers new twists on old standards, melding acting with movement arts. Similarly, the physical-theater group Wise Fool New Mexico performs its annual Circus Luminous extravaganza at the Lensic. In October, the Santa Fe Arts Festival’s art, music and film events, including the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, are held throughout the city. You can catch the Santa Fe Film Festival in May. Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin breathed new life into Santa Fe's theater scene in August of 2013 with his purchase and renovation of the Jean Cocteau Cinema, where independent and foreign films show nightly when nationally acclaimed stage performances aren't packing the 120 seats.

AN INCREDIBLE SETTING! Arrive early with a tailgate supper to enjoy the sunset and mountain views.

We Know Our Shopping Having been a key player along historic trading routes like the Santa Fe Trail and El Camino Real for centuries, it’s no surprise that Santa Fe is a major shopping destination. Family-owned shops line the Plaza, while one-of-a kind outfitters are found in the Railyard/Guadalupe district. Canyon Road bursts with galleries and boutiques, while museum shops are everywhere, not just on Museum Hill. Annual events like Indian Market, Spanish Market and the International Folk Art Market draw shopping-ready crowds from around the world, and major exhibitions, like Turquoise, Water, Sky at the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, inspire purchases of hand-crafted jewelry. One of the first sights you’ll see at the Plaza is dozens of Native American artisans selling their turquoise and silver under the portal of the Palace of the Governors. Nearby are Dressman’s Gifts, a long-standing gift store; Rocki Gorman, which sells Southwestern jewelry and clothes; women's consignment shop Act 2; Cutlery of Santa Fe, offering an impressive range of knifeware; Turquoise Butterfly, selling unusual jewelry, pottery, clothing and furniture; and the Real Deal Collection, featuring new and gently used high-end handbags, luggage and shoes. The Plaza Mercado, a shopping center on the Plaza, houses galleries, sweets shops, rooftop restaurants and more, while south of the Plaza, TIN-NEE-ANN Trading Co. sells Native American jewelry, Pendleton blankets, pottery and local gifts. Canyon Road is one of the best spots in the world to buy art, fine leather goods and chic home furnishings. The Sanbusco Market in the Railyard and DeVargas shopping center in the Guadalupe district are go-to spots for home decor, cookware, sporting goods and designer apparel.

New Mexico Food - Santa Fe Style!

Santa Fe is the chile capital of the world, boasting 16 stops along its Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown Tour. Places like Cowgirl BBQ, Blue Corn Cafe & Brewery, Rio Chama, La Casa Sena, Santa Fe Bite, Caffe Greco and Del Charro at the Inn of the Governors offer sublime, juicy burgers made with local beef and topped with cheese and chiles, served on homemade buns, rolls and bread. Pair them with everything from onion rings to sweet potato fries, or simply enjoy them on their mouthwatering own. 2015 Official Santa Fe Guide

We have good tastes

SantaFe.org

It’s not all about the food. Check out the exceptional wine lists at TerraCotta Wine Bistro, 315 Restaurant & Bar, or Arroyo Vino. Visit one of New Mexico’s 45-plus world-class wineries and distilleries; several call Santa Fe home. Fans of artisan spirits will enjoy the tasting room at Santa Fe Spirits, or if tequila is more your style, try one of more than 200 signature margaritas—like the Randall Scandal—on the menu at Maria’s New Mexican Kitchen. No matter where you visit, one of Santa Fe’s award-winning mixologists will pour something special just for you. 38

Head toward Santa Fe’s mountains for Ten Thousand Waves’ secluded Japanese-inspired tubs—either budget-friendly communal ones or luxurious private options. Outside of town, an easy drive away, you can indulge in Ojo Caliente’s natural geothermal pools, which have been recognized for their healing benefits for thousands of years.

SILVER-LEVEL RIDE CENTER

INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN BIKING ASSOCIATION On Upper Canyon Road, the Randall Davey Audubon Center and the Nature Conservancy’s Santa Fe Canyon Preserve comprise 325 acres that rise through four eco-zones, from brushy cottonwood and willow to Ponderosa pine forest. The walking trails are popular with bird-watchers who can spot some 140 species that nest on the land. More challenging routes into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains are found within the Dale Ball trail system or Atalaya Mountain where a seven-mile-round-trip trek leads hikers from a sandy arroyo to a rocky ridgetop with expansive views. Recognized nationally for our mountain biking and bike friendliness, cyclists are also welcome on most Dale Ball and Atalaya trails as well as on the Chamisa and Borrego trails, both part of the Santa Fe National Forest. Hyde Memorial State Park affords more day hiking opportunities with its extensive network of roadside trails and its campgrounds for tent and RV camping. One of the best ways to navigate Santa Fe’s rugged terrain and take in its sweeping mountain views is on horseback. Guided tours and private rides are available through Santa Fe Stables and Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa. For a bird’s-eye view of the stunning local scenery, private hot air ballon rides are available locally through Santa Fe Balloons and in Albuquerque through Private Balloon Flights.

Out of Town Adventure Discover Northern New Mexico

STEVEN HORAK

From late May until mid-October, all aboard for a nostalgic train ride on the highest narrow-gauge railroad in the country and a National Historic Landmark: the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. Departing from Chama, the train ascends the 10,015-foot Cumbres Pass in Colorado, passing dramatic shifts in scenery along the 64-mile route, from pastoral farmland to rock-hemmed valleys bisected by winding rivers.

Once Santa Fe gets into your soul, it’s hard to tear yourself away from the place. So much of the city’s history is directly tied to other areas of Northern New Mexico that your love affair with the city will only grow following fun, day trips out of town. With Santa Fe as your home base, dedicate some time to memorable driving excursions to Abiquiú, Albuquerque, Chama, Chimayó, the Eight Northern Pueblos, Las Vegas, Los Alamos, Madrid, Pecos National Historical Park, Taos or one of New Mexico’s other landmarks. You’ll find yourself returning to Santa Fe even more infatuated with the area—not to mention in time for dinner. So get out the map, gas up the car, stock up on water and pack your sense of adventure. Northern New Mexico calls! 2015 Official Santa Fe Guide
