Old Town Emporium, Albuquerque

The oldest part of the city of Albuquerque in New Mexico, founded here in 1706 by Spanish colonists. Lots of low, single story ‘adobe’ buildings create a very strong architectural character to the place.

The only thing that disappointed me was that almost every building is now a gift shop, and very touristy indeed. It’s hard to imagine what it was like in the old days with all that modern gifty stuff!
