Group building torreón in Agua Fría to commemorate area's past
The village of Agua Fría boasts its own dynamic history and some resent the notion that it’s in the shadow of Santa Fe, its neighbor to the northeast.
Agua Fría has an extensive past as an agricultural hub, and its main road, Agua Fría Street, was long part of the trading route between Mexico and Santa Fe called El Camino Real. Residents of the area in 1835 built their own Catholic church, San Isidro.
