Taos, New Mexico: Taos Plaza

When visiting Taos, a visit to Taos Plaza is almost required. It's been the center of the city for more than 300 years.

The Spanish first set up buildings on this plaza when they arrived. The place has evolved into a center of commerce. The four sides have stores that sell the usual tourist items - shirts, crafts, jewelry, etc. There's also some restaurants around, and the Hotel La Fonda looks over it all.

There is parking there, but it fills up quickly. So you might want to get there before 10 a.m. in order to grab a space, or just plan on making a small walk.
