madrid, new mexico

One of the prettiest drives in New Mexico is the Turquoise Trail connecting the East Mountains of Albuquerque with Santa Fe. Along the trail you'll see small mining towns, whimsical hills dotted with pinons, and the funky arts town of Madrid (pronounced MAD-rid).

If you stroll down the alley next to the Mineshaft Tavern, you'll find the Tapestry Gallery which sells some hand-dyed roving and yarns along with handwoven items.
