Some local favorites
Debajo is our favorite restaurant! It is a short walk, just 2 blocks, but you will feel like you are back in Spain! Excellent food and wonderful wines. It is in the mid to higher range as far as pricing, but worth it!

Best view in town and AMAZING apothecary cocktails!!! Go at sunset for watching the city shift from buildings to vibrant city at the same time witness the Sandia Mountains turn shades of red and pink. Do you see why the mountains are called Sandia?

Unique to Albuquerque
Old Town is the oldest section of Albuquerque and a nice mile walk from our home. The Jesuits built the church and the Plaza developed around it over the next hundred
Old Town is less than a mile walk from our home and like going back in time. The original church was built by the Jesuits in the 1700’s. The plaza built up around it over the next hundred years and remains the same unique architecture today. Maybe you’ll be lucky and hear a mariachi band playing in the center gazebo!
