Keep an eye out for flyers and web postings to find little tiny festivals ... jewels of New Mexico can be found in unexpected places!
I find flyers posted all over the place, and just this week I found one from a little known group doing a Dia De Los Muertos Festival .... I love this time of year and the Day of the Dead is just one reason! When we arrived at the park on the flyer, it looked like a family picnic - but more energenic if that's at all possible :) There was a band, goats wandering about, one vendor, a potluck of vegan food that was amazing, a martial arts demonstration, folks were lounging about painting masks, wood panels and themselves too! The Aztec dancers were wonderful, I actually felt 'the spirit move' me as they called on the four traditional directions as well as the sky and earth. The full moon overhead, while the sun was still up added to our wonder.
Honestly, since this was a little event, I never, ever would have known about it if I hadn't taken time to actually READ a flyer in passing. So don't forget to do the same for yourself ... you never know just what you might find :) Leave a Comment

You can also catch a movie while Downtown. Riding the bus to down town is easy. A Hostel is in downtown also. Also you the train stops in Downtown. Leave a Comment Address: 1st street to 12 on central

Right off the bat...not the most luxurious hot springs you'll ever visit but in the context of the state (New Mexico) its just right. Its a strange mix of bath house vs. natural springs that seems to be stuck in 1843. The great thing is that one goes there knowing what to expect and the "retro" feel is what the appeal to the place is all about.
The town that it is in offers a couple of cool bars/grills with live music at different times of the year. The drive through the mountains is something I would definitely recommend on your way to Santa Fe.
For a more glamourized spa experience at the base of some "pretty" rock formations (its the desert, they're everywhere) you might want to check out Ojo Caliente. Its a small resort so you're pretty much there the whole time.
Ojo is not in Jemez and for the best directions you can just visit to the website. Address: JemezDirections: The jemez mountains are just north of Albuquerque on your way to Santa Fe.
