Facts about Santa Fe:
With a population of 70,000, Santa Fe, which means Holy Faith in Spanish, is New Mexico’s capital as well as the fourth largest city. It is situated at 7,000 feet in the Sangre de Cristo foothills. It’s renowned for its Pueblo-style architecture, and as a creative arts hotbed. Santa Fe is home to over 250 galleries in a two square mile area.
Founded as a Spanish colony in 1610, it has at its heart the traditional Plaza. The surrounding historic district’s crooked streets wind past adobe landmarks like the Palace of the Governors, now home to the New Mexico History Museum. Today, Santa Fe’s unique offerings of art, culture and ancient traditions make it a world-class destination, drawing more than 1 million visitors each year. Santa Fe hosts 40 festivals and fiestas per year.
In 2005, Santa Fe became the first U. S. city to be chosen by UNESCO as a Creative City, one of only nine cities in the world to hold this designation. This creativity is at the heart of the community and is a core value for most local businesses.
The climate in Santa Fe is fantastic. With an average of 325 sunny days each year, Santa Fe has four distinct seasons, each enjoyable in its own way.

Winters are beautiful with snow storms punctuated by sunny days. The colors of fall are bright with blooming chamisa and asters, yellow aspens and sweet, crisp air. In spring, the fruit trees bloom and daffodils, tulips and forsythia sprout all over town.
