With a population of 465,000, Albuquerque is by far the largest city in the state of New Mexico. From Sandia Peak, around 10,300 feet high and easily accessible by cable car, one looks down on an endless sea of light brown houses in the plains.
The adobe-style old town around the historic Old Town Plaza radiates tranquility and coziness with its stores and shiny chrome vintage cars on display. Take your time to visit old San Felipe de Neri Church.
