Renovating the Past - Old Albuquerque High Lofts

We love living in a place as diverse and eclectic as Albuquerque. With mountains on one side, the river on the other with desert just beyond that, you can take you pick of the natural envirnment you might feel like being in each day.

The City itself is full of interesting, creative and friendly folks with a culture as diverse as its landscape.

From music to art and film to poetry, whatever your interests you will probably find a group or organization to make friends and pursue hobbies.

Tourists will find plenty of culture and leisure activities to create a truly special and memorable vacation.

We hope our tips help everyone find some of the more unusual as well as the very well known events, organizations, cultural attractions, businesses and public art that grace Albuquerque.
