Santa Fe is A Top Travel Desination - Again!

by Susan Orth

For the 19th Year in a row, Conde Nast Traveler magazine has voted Santa Fe New Mexico one of the best travel destinations in the U.S! Considering the poll has only been around for 23 years, this is quite an accomplishment.

Santa Fe was selected as the third most popular travel city in the country.  The best part is, this award was not selected by the editors of the magazine, but by the knowledgable travelers who read Conde Nast. More than 25,000 readers voted on the city's restaurants, lodges, retailers, galleries, performances, attractions and service providers. The ratings were based on Atmosphere/Ambience, Culture/Sites, Friendliness, Lodging, Restaurants, and Shopping.

The kind of people who voted have visited Santa Fe, or possibly already live in Santa Fe, and have been enthralled by its beauty...

They know that the Santa Fe restaurants have an atmosphere and quality of food you can't find anywhere else. They know that the galleries represent an artistic presence that lingers throughout Santa Fe's streets. They know that the city of Santa Fe has a personality all its own and is so addicting, they can't help but come back.

It's often these same travelers that become permanent residents of Santa Fe. They visit once, then find themselves returning on a regular basis, then realize that moving to Santa Fe is something they want to make a reality. Santa Fe real estate is a highly sought after commodity. Not just because of the beautiful Santa Fe homes, but because of the wonderful Santa Fe lifestyle. Sounds like something you might be interested in? Give me a call. I can help you make it a reality.

Celebrating Dia De Los Muertos in Santa Fe New Mexico

by Susan Orth

Celebrating Halloween in Santa Fe is not the same as celebrating Halloween any place else. You see in Santa Fe New Mexico, All Hallows' Eve coincides with the Mexican celebration, Dia de los Muertos, also known as Day of the Dead.

On November 1st, it is believed that souls return to the Earth and are greeted with feasts, music and dancing. Instead of embracing the concept of death as Halloween does, Dia De Los Muertos is a holiday meant to celebrate the lives of passed on loved ones.

A large part of the celebration includes altars that are set up all throughout Santa Fe, where pictures of the deceased are placed, along with food, drink and activities the deceased cherished while they were alive. To guide the soul's way back to home, loved ones light candles to cover the altars and graveyards.

To celebrate this Day of the Dead like only Santa Fe can...
Attend the Dia De Los Muertos Community Celebration and Dance

When: Friday, 10/29, from 6 pm - 10 pm
Where: 555 Camino de la Familia, Santa Fe, NM 87501
Alters, ofrendas, shrines, music, dancers, costume contest, art, food and prizes! Come dressed in your finest Calaca apparel and bring a photo or an item of a loved one. This event is free to the public. If you'd like to install an altar or shrine, just call 992-0591 to reserve your space.

The beautiful thing about living in Santa Fe Real Estate is celebrating such events as Dia De Los Muertos. The people who live here are passionate about their traditions and it makes one feel proud to call Santa Fe Home. If you have any interest in relocating to Santa Fe New Mexico, or just want to find out a little bit more about it, I would love to hear from you.

Only Santa Fe Would Have a Gym as Beautiful as This!

by Isabella Luconi

Santa Fe Business Spotlight: Genoveva Chavez Community Center

There are lots of outdoors activities to do in Santa Fe but sometimes its good to find a place you can go to that is completely devoted to fitness and wellness. What better way than spending your time in the Genoveva Chavez Community Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico?

This place is certainly not your average gym! You can be on a bike and look down over the skating rink or walk on a stairmaster and get lost in the shimmering blue of the swimming pool below.

Spinning classes, yoga classes, stretching casses...

Racquet ball, basketball,volleyball... you just have to find your niche.

The Chazez Center is located next door to the Rodeo Grounds in Southeast Santa Fe. Just couple of miles from Rancho Viejo Santa Fe, Nava Ade Santa Fe, Oshara Village and Pueblos del Sol Santa Fe.

I have never seen such an admirable expression of contemporary architecture in a gym!

The Chazez Center is the ultimate example that no matter what you are doing in Santa Fe New Mexico, even if it's running on the treadmill, you can still be surrounded by art and culture. If you are looking for a home in Northeast Santa Fe Real Estate or Northwest Santa Fe Real Estate, I can help you find what you are looking for. Just give me a call or email me, anytime!
