Tourists arriving in Santa Fe will first notice the unique architecture that is symbolic of New Mexico. Originally a Spanish territory, Santa Fe is now the state capital of New Mexico and is the highest elevated and oldest state capital in the United States; it was established by Spanish settlers in 1610. Along with Espanola and Edgewood, Santa Fe is a part of Santa Fe County and is the seat of this region. Farther out, nearby towns and cities worth exploring include Albuquerque, Taos and Roswell.
Santa Fe is well known as an arts mecca. When you book an RV in Santa Fe, expect to be able to immerse yourself in painting, pottery, architecture and other art forms; perusing art galleries could easily fill an afternoon or an entire day. Famous artists from this area include the painter Georgia O'Keefe and George RR Martin, author of the Game of Thrones novel series. Information on current arts events can easily be found in the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper, which publishes Pasatiempo, a calendar and commentary on the local arts scene. Other sources include The Magazine and an alternative weekly newspaper, the Santa Fe Reporter.
Other attractions to this city include music, dance, opera, museums and sports. RVers needing to gas up the Santa Fe luxury RV rental will have a vast selection of gas stations to choose from, most of them located in the south of Santa Fe. Grocery shopping for those who wish a quiet evening preparing dinner in their Santa Fe motorhome rental will also have an extensive selection of outlets to choose from, including stores selling locally grown and raised foods, specialty items and a small number of chain retail outlets.
Public transportation in and around Santa Fe is managed by Rio Metro, which has routes within the city and beyond, making it easy to park the camper rental in Santa Fe and safely and comfortably make your way to Albuquerque and Las Alamos, amongst other destinations. It also connects with the Rail Runner, a train service which runs south through the Rio Grande Valley to Belen.
