JENNY'S VIEW
|
|
Newcomers to Santa Fe are always surprised to discover, after studying maps, how easily walkable and bikeable the city is on the ground. Unlike most destinations, you will not need a car, subway, or bus for much of what you want to see here, so I encourage you to hit the streets and discover, the way you did as a kid!

RECIPE FOR ADVENTURE
|
|
The summer temperatures have hit and it’s already too hot to be in the kitchen cooking, so we get creative with cool salsas to compliment your favorite fish or pork. This grilled pineapple pear salsa is amazing by itself with tortilla chips or as a refreshing accompaniment to your main entree. We love to serve it with grilled fish, such as sea bass, pork or chicken.

LIVE AT LA FONDA

Plunge into the carnival of buying and selling art that is Santa Fe in high season. Besides the Big Three summer art fairs, smaller fairs take place right alongside that might unearth just that perfect treasure to take home—even if it didn’t win a blue ribbon and cost five figures!
