Entrance to Canyon Road

This intersection is a popular entrance to Canyon Road. Already you can see the art work visible.

Just a short walk away are many galleries, jewelry shops, places to eat and more.

Dennis B. Villa Pando, Artist

At the far corner of this day's Artists Market, Dennis B. Villa Pando hangs out near his chain saw sculpted creations. In the next booth someone checks out the pottery.

Paseo de Peralta at East Alameda

If you are a visitor to Santa Fe, chances are you'll walk or drive through this intersection many times. Paseo de Peralta forms a small-time beltway around the inner-most part of the city. Alameda runs along the Santa Fe River.

Look left, down East Alameda to the east and the Santa Fe River is on your right. Along it is an informal trail, some picnic benches, and a park near a big curve at the end. Continuing to look left, on the opposite corner one can see the St. Francis Cathedral Elementary School.

Site Santa Fe

On the corner of Paseo de Peralta and Guadalupe, with the artists out back and the farmers over toward Guadalupe, Site Santa Fe is the main building that catches the eye. Although there is another building with a great mural on it, be sure to see the next panorama...

Look carefully to the left of the building and you can see the white tops of the shady tents set up by the farmers and artists.

Musicians Play at the Farmers Market

Organic produce, plants, baked goods, clothing, art, music...

Over the musicians' shoulders you can see views of the Sangre de Christo foothills. Views while you shop.

Old Santa Fe Trail at Paseo de Peralta

Look around and you can see the blue sign for the Visitor Information Center.

Ok, so not the most exciting views, but I hope it helps you get your bearings. There are some Sangre de Christo foothill views, however.

Sign for the Artists Market

Looking down Paseo de Peralta you can see the Site Santa Fe building. To the left of that you can see parking and the little white tips of tents off in the distance...shady spots to find vegetables, fruits, and more. The intersection down there is where Guadalupe intersects with Cerrillos.

As you pan left you will see one of cool aspects of Santa Fe: murals on otherwise boring utility boxes and other places with enough space, like the electrical utility building across the street. Yeah murals! Boo graffiti.
