There is no shortage of long-ago tales and myths of the Northern New Mexico landscapes. First and foremost, what defines a place’s legends and myths more than the ghost stories they tell. That’s why we feel so lucky to get a ghost tour from Taos’ very own ghost expert Melody Romancito. Also, in this issue, we take a look at the history of petroglyphs in the Taos area. Marked in straight lines chipped out of volcanic rock, these are some of our first legends. Finally, it sits on the side of State Road 68, sometimes bursting with life, but most often vacant and lonely. It’s the historic Embudo Station. We take a look at this oddity of Northern New Mexico and its past.
Leyendas section is week one of our four-week Tradiciones series.
