Sightseeing
Places I love in Albuquerque!
Art gallery, paletas (homemade Mexican popsicles) and access to Rio Grande river trails and bike trails. Also a space with events like film screening, salsa dancing, interesting lectures, performances and more. If you can visit the torre (tower), it houses a fascinating 360 degree mural of the history of Mexico (which includes present day Mexico).
