Artists and adventurers, snowbirds, shoppers, and spiritualistsâthey are all drawn to mystical Santa Fe, a high-desert town of about 85,000 in northern New Mexico. Theyâre magnetized by the impossibly blue skies and bathtub-warm temps, the rust-colored adobe facades and chili ristras hung from door jambs. Santa Fe has a place for so many types of travelers: families, girlfriends on a getaway, anniversary celebrants, remote workers, retirees, soul searchers. Itâs so many things to so many people, itâs no wonder generations of seekers have flocked here. The City Different lives up to its name.
