New Mexico Road Trip – Santa Fe 🚗🌵✨
Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, means “Holy Faith” – and it truly lives up to its name as a beautifully artistic and spiritually rich small city. 🏛️🎨 Recommended One-Day Itinerary: 🕍 The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi A stunning church in the heart of the city. I was lucky to catch a live classical music performance by a local orchestra inside—it felt incredibly sacred and uplifting! 🎻✨ ⛪ Loretto Chapel Another iconic chapel downtown, famous for its “miraculous” spiral staircase with no visible support. The stained-glass windows here are also breathtaking! 🌈🪜 🎨 Canyon Road A street packed with art galleries and sculptures! Each gallery has its own unique style, showcasing works by local artists. Perfect for a creative stroll. 🖼️🚶♀️ 🌅 Cross of the Martyrs A short hike up a small hill near the center, where a giant cross stands overlooking the entire city. It’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset! 🌄❤️ Santa Fe is compact yet full of charm—ideal for a day of exploration and inspiration. Can’t wait to return! #DayTrip #RoadTrip #NewMexico #SantaFe #ArtAndFaith #TravelUSA #SouthwestVibes #HistoricSites #CulturalGem #ExploreNewMexico #Wanderlust #LocalArt #ScenicViews #SunsetLovers #ArchitectureLovers
