This is why you take the longer route from the airport to Santa Fe... Love this quirky shop in Madrid and it's personable owner with his eclectic flavors in edition to familiar ones. One of my favs was that I had was the spicy mango covered in chocolate (soooo good...flavor I remember but the name escapes me, sorry). Chocolate Pistachio and the Chocolate Raspberry...also good ones. I wish I had purchased the Chocolate Lavender. When I return to this region I will drive to stop in and see Harvey Shugarman and get my chocolate fix...fixes! Keep the flavors coming Harvey!

Fun shop filled with fun selection of art, cowboy dioramas, pottery and beautiful vintage cowboy and cowgirl boots. There was also a fantastic selection of turquoise jewelry. This place absolutely has great style. I love what the buyer chooses for this shop. Real friendly folks here. Be sure to stop when you are in Madrid.

Get off the super highway and go to this friendly quirky historical ghost town that serves up a killer hatch chile burger, an icy cold draft (which is incredible considering the heat in the summer), listen to a live band, shop at any of the fun and interesting shops, see an old locomotive, go to a museum, don't miss Shugarmen's Chocolate (say that again), you may get lucky and see a parade even, and so many photo ops for your social media. This is the perfect stop between the airport of Albuquerque and Santa Fe to kick off your desert adventures.
6. Maggie’s Diner From Wild Hogs Movie Set

This is a fun place to stop if you have ever see the movie Wild Hogs. If you are lucky like me I caught them at a time they weren’t busy. Got a great photo. If you want a New Mexico souvenir this is the stop. Remember you will not be eating here????. Visit the Mine Shaft right down the street for a great meal BBQ Pork sandwich was outstanding.
