A NOTE TO OUR READERS:
"Great Days in Santa Fe" is from the July 2007 issue of Southern Living.
Because prices, dates, and other specifics are subject to change, please check all
information to make sure it's still current before making your travel plans.
It's the architecture. The art. The culture. The romance.
This is a city full of scenes--vignettes framed by ancient doorways and
alleys. With all of these, Santa Fe commands its own dreamy identity.
And, believe it or not, July is a perfect month to visit. While the rest
of the Southwest swelters, the city stays literally above it all. After
an easy flight into Albuquerque, you're an hour from higher elevations
and lower temperatures. Enough said.
above: The El Rey Inn features mom-and-pop comfort and individuality that's hard to find these days.
