Once a year, in our Tradiciones: Raices issue, we explore these roots (“raices” in Spanish) and tell the tales of what we have found. Taoseños often pass by La Hacienda de los Martinez or the Talpa Torreón in southern Taos, but how often do we ever stop to explore the history of these structures? In this year’s issue, Sol Traverso takes readers through the history of Comanche raids in the area and explores how that history has affected the architecture. On more of a supernatural note, we take a look at the long and exciting history of UFO encounters in the area.
