¿Habla Español?

We got interested in Albuquerque mostly because it’s a multicultural city. Recognized as one of the most culturally diverse cities in the country, Albuquerque has a lot to offer in its architecture, artwork, cultural centers and cuisine. Lots of customs and traditions are to be seen every day. That makes Albuquerque an epicenter of authentic Southwestern culture. Albuquerque is also known because it’s home to many people of the Native American, Hispanic, Latino and Anglo cultures. In fact, more than 70 different ethnicities call Albuquerque home.

30th Annual End of Trail Wild West Jubilee

We decided just to stay here for a couple of days, so we wanted to use those days as good as possible. The first thing we did was to go to a festival called “The 30th Annual End of Trail Wild West Jubilee”. It’s a festival that is celebrated in this city every year, and it’s pretty much known, at least in New Mexico. It was exciting because it was inspired by the Wild Western! This was perfect because we now had the opportunity to see this city’s culture.

Cosmo Tapas:  Soba Noodles

The vineyard Casa Rondena

It’s clear that this city is very much inspired by Spanish culture and traditions. We went to a Spanish restaurant called Cosmo Tapas and we all ordered something that sounded interesting: Soba Noodles. It was tasteful and we could sense the Spanish touch. After the meal, we went to a vineyard to look around and taste some of their wines. The taste of the wines was different from the ones we are used to here, but it actually reminded us a little about Spanish wines.

Now, it’s time to leave this wonderful city. Too bad we couldn’t stay any longer. But we felt like before leaving this city, it’s good to listen to some Mexican music so that we could get one last feeling of Albuquerque!
