My first visit to Old Town Albuquerque came yesterday as I headed there to have lunch at the Backstreet Grill. I've passed by it a few times but hadn't stopped in.
According to Google:
Old Town’s narrow streets and century-old adobe houses are home to New Mexican eateries serving enchiladas and sopaipilla pastries, and tiny artisan shops selling jewelry, rugs and pottery. Old Town Plaza is a charming spot overlooked by 18th-century San Felipe de Neri Church. Nearby, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science has dinosaur skeletons, while the Albuquerque Museum displays Southwestern art.
Before the restaurant opened, I spent an hour wandering around its shops and galleries. The hour went by pretty fast. It reminded me of Olvera Street in Los Angeles.
During my wandering, I took a few photos of the shops.
