Willkommen in Albuquerques Altstadt, dem Herzstück!
Willkommen in Old Town Albuquerque, der Wiege der Stadt und einer der geschichtsträchtigsten Ecken in ganz New Mexico!

Gegründet 1706 als spanischer Kolonialaußenposten, war das hier einst eine kleine Bauern- und Handelsgemeinde rund um eine Plaza – ganz typisch für spanische Dörfer. Im Lauf der Jahrhunderte entwickelte sie sich zum kulturellen und wirtschaftlichen Herz von Albuquerque, wo spanische, mexikanische und indigene Traditionen zu etwas einzigartig Südwestlichem verschmelzen.

Viele der Adobe-Häuser, die ihr hier seht, sind Jahrhunderte alt. Manche stehen noch auf ihren Originalfundamenten, und die dicken Erdwände halten es drinnen selbst an heißen Wüstentagen angenehm kühl. Ein Ort, an dem sich jeder Torbogen und jeder Innenhof wie ein Stück lebendige Geschichte anfühlt.

Bei unserem nächsten Stopp geht’s direkt ins Herz von Old Town – zur Plaza und der San Felipe de Neri Kirche. Zwei Wahrzeichen, die seit den Anfängen der Stadt als Symbole für Glauben und Gemeinschaft stehen.

Old Town Plaza – Herz der Stadt
Da sind wir auch schon: Old Town Plaza, das absolute Herzstück von Albuquerque seit 1706. Früher Treffpunkt für Siedler und Soldaten, reihen sich hier heute coole Läden, Galerien und Restaurants aneinander. Der Platz wirkt wie eine lebendige Postkarte – der perfekte Mix aus Geschichte, Kultur und echtem Südwest-Charme.
