Adorned Walls in Las Cruces


 

Something you will notice in Las Cruces is the number of homes that have religious tilework on them, small handpainted murals, or Southwestern metalwork motifs such as geckos. 

La Posta, famed Mesilla eatery (Mesilla is a tiny village just south of Las Cruces and "touching" Las Cruces), has some gorgeous tile work inside, but many homes also have it on the exterior.

Sometimes house numbers are displayed on colorful tiles affixed to adobe or stucco walls.

It all adds to the unique feel of Las Cruces and Southern New Mexico.
