<\/a>Order “Christmas<\/a>” in Santa Fe, and you’ll be getting something a heck of a lot spicier than a man in a jolly red suit and presents under the tree.<\/p>\n Instead, you’ll receive a healthy serving of red and green chile sauce drizzled over your steaming plate of enchiladas.<\/p>\n Like your lunch, New Mexico’s capital city is a spicy blend of diverse cultures and histories – only this city’s also stuffed with a robust appreciation of art and peppered with a love for outdoor adventure.<\/p>\n The oldest capital in the US, Santa Fe’s streets are lined with richly colored adobe buildings, historic sites<\/a> (like the US’s oldest church), hundreds of art galleries (Santa Fe was even home to Georgia O’Keefe), and contemporary restaurants.<\/p>\n Visiting now, during slow season, is the perfect way to experience Santa Fe like a local (and without the crowds!). With Ski resorts <\/a>only a few miles away and Indian Pueblos celebrating their Winter Feast Days and Dances<\/a>, you’ll have no shortage of activities to immerse yourself in the New Mexican experience.<\/p>\n
