I grew up thirty miles away. This misses the Indian art market that we walked right through on the plaza. The vendors sit against the wall with wears displayed on Indian blankets as tourist and shoppers amble past on one side of the plaza only, that’s in front of the palace of the governors. Most of it is marvolous and precious turquoise and silver Indian jewelry as well as paintings and kachina dolls and wonderfull native Indian art. As explained Covid ruined it. Thats one quiet day. During the burning of the zoozbra those streets fill with tens of thousands shoulder to shoulder everywhere.
One noteworthy historic location you skipped right past is 109 East Palace (at 2:29); during WWII, America’s top nuclear physicists from all over the country were recruited to work on a top-secret project they barely knew anything about, and told to report to 109 East Palace. That single doorway was the gateway to the Manhattan Project, to Los Alamos, and to development of America’s first nuclear weapon. Oppenheimer, Edward Teller, Richard Feinman, all funneled through that door. Today there's nothing but a small historic marker to indicate it, but history happened there nonetheless.
Great little video. Memories! Ah yes, Cathedral Park. Many decades ago the church there allowed artists to show their work in the park regularly. Until one day some church official strolled through and discovered that artists actually studied drawing and drew figures from nude humans. Evidence on the easels right there - the end of the venue for local artists! I left Santa Fe maybe 30 years ago (OMG) because the cost of living just got too high. Rent etc... I do miss the place much because of the beauty. That original art colony there 2 centuries ago really nailed it. Too bad it's gone to the developers and bankers. Adios Santa Fe.
Thank you for this beautiful walk! Excellently executed! Been there 4 times (all the way from the Netherlands, in Europe), and this video from now on will be my memory-refresher. 💛❤️
La original Santa Fe está en España, en las montañas nevadas de Granada, campamento militar luego ciudad fundada por los Reyes Católicos como base de la toma , rendición, de la ciudad de Granada en 1492 y rendición del rey moro Boabdil. Saludos desde España.
Looks nice the way I remember But where are the people Don't get me wrong I grew up in Las Vegas New Mexico was in Santa Fe alot ? Samuel Las Vegas Nevada and the Anasazi were Bad people why I married a girl from Gallup and Navajos told me
Most American cities are like ghost towns unless if you’re in the northeast cities like New York, Boston or college towns. I was in St. Louis and Memphis and it was also empty.

Nice video.
Great walk! I have some walking videos on my channel. Any recommendations on where to stay on Santa Fe for a family?
How early do the vendors usually set up at the Governor’s palace?
Un lugar desolado, en donde esta la gente???? Bello pero desagelado....
Bypasses the local saloon
