ENCHANTED HARDSCAPES

There are museums, and then there are "living museums" that the kids (and mom and dad) will surely find interesting. El Rancho de las Golondrinas is such a place. See attractions like original colonial buildings on this site that date back to the early 18th century as well as other buildings that have been reconstructed to reflect the style of that time period. The buildings and other items presented here tell the fascinating story of the early settlement of New Mexico. The museum is closed from November through March.

The two of you probably won't realize how stressed out you are until you both visit the Absolute Nirvana Spa for a truly romantic afternoon or evening.

Also, this relaxing venue features a tea room and gardens that will make your visit even more relaxing as you and your sweetheart can enjoy a hot cup of tea and a stroll in the garden before or after your treatments.
