Albuquerque Neighborhood Highlight: the South Valley and Barelas neighborhoods ⭐

The South Valley area has been home to Spanish and Mexican families for centuries. This rich fertile valley has traditionally been a farming community and it is still crisscrossed by irrigation ditches linked to the Rio Grande. Some of the adobe homes in the area are 400 years old, and many of the area’s families have been living and farming here for generations. The South Valley’s bounty of rural charm makes it easy to forget you’re in New Mexico’s biggest city!

Just south of the Downtown area lies the historic Hispanic neighborhood of Barelas. Although Barelas is close to the heart of Downtown, it has retained its strong individual character. The Barelas neighborhood is home to the National Hispanic Cultural Center, the South Broadway Cultural Center and the ABQ BioPark zoo.

The 2926 train ran a million miles before being retired to an Albuquerque city park in 1956. 65 years later, the train moved under her own steam power again. You can see this massive beauty yourself every Wednesday and Saturday from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Tours are provided periodically throughout the day!

Congratulations to New Mexico United for their brand new hot air balloon in partnership with StrangeKind Ballooning. A team as iconic as United deserves a balloon that's just as special.

In 2019, New Mexico United kicked off their inaugural season as Albuquerque’s professional soccer team. Playing in the USL Championship, the team quickly became a must-see activity for locals and visitors alike. The matches are always a blast, filled with local pride and overflowing with energy.

Look to the skies next time you're up early enough, and see if you can spot the distinctive black and yellow soaring across the sky.

Spanish missionaries planted the first grapevines in New Mexico in 1629, making the Rio Grande Valley the oldest wine-making region in the country. Almost 400 years later, and the wine scene in the state is thriving.
Celebrate it Memorial Day weekend in Albuquerque at the New Mexico Wine Fest Albuquerque; one of the largest wine festivals in the Southwest. The festival takes place May 23-25 at Balloon Fiesta Park from 12 p.m. - 6 p.m. Sip samples from New Mexico's best wineries, enjoy live music, shop from vendors and dance at a silent disco. Cheers to that!
