East < GO > West

Turn North 1 block at San Felipe or Romero Streets. There is a large parking lot for Old Town on the north saide of Central betwen San Felipe and Romero. There is also on street parking in Old Town itself. Founded in 1706 San Felipe De Neri is the oldest church in Albuquerque. It is right across the street from the Plaza. The day we were here a wedding was about to take place. x The Plaza is the centerpiece of Old Town Albuquerque and often has live music playing. The Plaza is two blocks north of Central Avenue (Route 66) on San Felipe Street NW. x The Plaza is lined with all sorts of shops full of interesting items and cafes full of good food. If you are going through Albuquerque this really is a must see attraction. You can see it all in a couple of hours at a quick pace or spend all day exploring the shops and enjoying the food.

x Vendors of arts and crafts often line the walks along the shops.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
