10 Food & Drink in Albuquerque That You Shouldn't Miss
Whether you're into history, culture, outdoor adventures or just in need of some new and unique scenery, Albuquerque offers exciting attractions for all ages and interests, anytime of the year. In the historic section of Old Town, ancient Indian and Spanish cultures come to life through old churches, quaint shops and piazzas, winding brick paths and adobe benches. Browsers can spend a whole day making their way through the more than 100 stores, boutiques and galleries that sell Southwestern goods as well as unique products from around the world. During the winter holiday season, Old Town is adorned with small lit candles and thousands come to stroll through the streets, listen to live music and celebrate. It is truly a sight to see. But the history doesn't stop there. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and the Petroglyph National Monument offer a glimpse of old Indian customs and art. Families will find plenty to do at the Albuquerque Biological Park, which features a zoo, aquarium and botanic garden. Outdoor types will find ample opportunities for hiking, biking and golf. After working up an appetite, head to any number of fine restaurants that serve up a choice of hot or even hotter New Mexican cuisine. To top it all off, take a ride on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway for spectacular views of all this vibrant city has to offer.

The show on Saturday, February 22 was the closest I have ever seen to the shows at the famous tablao in Seville - ,, Los Gallos ''. The female singer has has a voice range of an opera star. I really liked the performance of dancer Andrea - she is absolutely fantastic !!! I hope she continues her study with National Institute of Flamenco and maybe find some teachers in Seville. The Institute does an amazing job and should be sponsored by the state and federal government. I hope to return someday, after seeing Friday and Saturday shows this time. I saw one of the dancers years ago in Los Angeles. I hope New Mexico Flamenco Festival join forces with Flamenco Festival in New York one day.

Bombs Away Brewery - built by a decorated USAF veteran (EOD hero) and his wife. Totally great atmosphere and some really good beer. John & Hillary (owners) are dedicated to making great quality beer amongst all the other great quality beer makers in ABQ. Their "Willie Pete Witt" is one of the best European Witt beers I have had that was not in Europe!! They do have some limited eats, but mainly it's just a great watering hole. Of note, they have a board for "Buy a Veteran a Beer" where folks can pre-buy military vets a free beer I will go back many, many times!!

A trip to Casa Rondeña Winery will send you into the thicket of the Rio Grande Bosque. Among the cottonwoods sits a bit of Spain. The breathtaking beauty of the architecture paired with the complexity and finesse of the wines will leave you wondering if you've been transported out of Albuquerque. Casa Rondeña has been chosen "Best Winery" 7 years in a row by Albuquerque the Magazine readers! Come experience the magic yourself!

Casa Rondeña is the perfect spot for a peaceful afternoon flight of wine. Not only is their wine delicious (the Cab is out of this world) but their staff is incredible! Robert in the tasting room is so welcoming and friendly, making you feel like you're sitting in your own backyard relaxing with your best friend.

While travelling in California wine country, we are asked where we're from, and in response to New Mexico, a good number of CA wine people have remarked that Gruet is great. We agree. We drop in to the Albuquerque and Santa Fe tasting rooms whenever we are nearby, and are members of the Gruet wine club. Fine bubblies !!!
