Santa Fe was founded in 1610. The city was built on the site of old Pueblo villages and is the capital of New Mexico. The word Santa Fe means holy faith. From our trips to this state, we've learned this region is steeped in tradition, religion and legends. Santa Fe is nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. It's the oldest state capital in the United States. Ok, having said this for Dan and me, Santa Fe is the history of friends. Our dear friends Ron and Michelle live in the area and we have so much fun spending time together. Each year we never miss a beat picking up where we left off. Always the BEST visit!
