Shopping in Santa Fe
Casas de Guadalupe is located just steps away from the Santa Fe Plaza. Santa Fe has a small but vibrant downtown that is not only walkable, but walked often by many people late into the nights. The plaza is lined with shops and vendors selling authentic Native American jewelry, pottery, clothing and much, much more. As you venture out you will get a sense of the architecture, culture and history of Santa Fe – the “City Different. The central square is referred to as the Plaza which is a gathering place for everyone. Pull up a bench, watch the people, walk along the sidewalks talking to the local artists, try on beautiful jewelry and RED boots! When you have exhausted your time there, you’ll definitely want to head over to Canyon Road to visit the art galleries that you’ve heard so much about.
