Cirrus in the West Series!
See them all: Denver, Boulder, Santa Fe, Taos, Southern Colorado, Kansas City, Saint Louis.
Jamestown (1607), yawn.
Saint Augustine (1565), take a seat.
Everyone stand for Taos Pueblo (sometime circa year 1000).
A legitimate Native American town occupied continuously since 1000 CE, Taos Pueblo is a fascinating and beautiful place, with distinctly different architecture & urbanity from anything coming from European settlers.
About 5 miles down the road from Taos Pueblo lies Taos. Just Taos. But we can call it Spanish-American Taos to distinguish it from Taos Pueblo if we want. Founded by the Spanish in 1615 specifically to be near Taos Pueblo, it's like a smaller, less sprawly, more authentic version of Santa Fe.
Bonus: Rio Grande Gorge, big canyon a few miles away.
Thanks for looking! Here's a little of that enchantment everybody's always talking about
