Española
The jewel of northern New Mexico, Española was founded in 1598 by Spain as the first capital of New Mexico. It sits in the northern Río Grande Valley between the Jemez Mountains and Truchas Peaks, and is a very convenient base for exploring northern New Mexico. Española has many lodging options and the best selection of restaurants. Don't miss the world-class local artists. Let us be your tour guide through the Beautiful Española Valley.
North of town, the Oñate Monument and Visitors Center charts the story of the Camino Real — the Royal Highway from Mexico City — and Spanish settlement of New Mexico. There are several historic churches in and around Española, as well as lakes and forests. The Española area is one of New Mexico's prime chile-growing regions, and vineyards are also taking root in the vicinity.
