Las Cruces is over 150 years old, with all the little nooks and out-of-the-way oddities of a city with some history. There is nowhere in this city that doesn't have some special touch, some bit of hidden beauty. Sunday drives are a joy of discovery! One area especially rich in hidden bits of beauty is Old Mesilla, with its turquoise-rimmed windows, adobe buildings, and quaint gates. Beautiful religious tableaux on gorgeous tiles adorn worn adobe walls. Desert blooms spill out from old courtyards. Brick streets set off the square to perfection, with the crowning grace of the Basilica of San Albino presiding over one end.
You will never lack for beauty if you make Las Cruces your home!
Here is a glance through a courtyard "window" in Mesilla. Many openings in New Mexico are painted blue for luck and protection:
