In the chorus of one of their hit songs, Foreigner sings "I want to know what love is/I want you to show me." Well, I may not be able to show you what love is, but I can tell you the perfect place to celebrate love! This Valentine's Day, enjoy a romantic getaway in the the Land of Enchantment- plan a visit one of these charming New Mexico cities!
Santa Fe
With its thriving arts scene, plentiful live entertainment, and unforgettable restaurants, Santa Fe is an obvious choice for a Valentine's Day getaway. You can browse an amazing art gallery, such as Center for Contemporary Arts and Photo-Eye Gallery, and catch a show at James A. Little Theater or historic Lensic Performing Arts Center. Don't forget to make advance reservations at one of the many fantastic local restaurants like Sazon Restaurant or 315 Restaurant & Wine Bar!
Alto
What's more romantic than a ski trip? Alto is home to Ski Apache, the southernmost ski resort in New Mexico. Chase your significant other through the snow on the ski slopes all morning and then cozy up by the fire! Alto is also a great place for dancing, as it is home to fun spots such as The Quarters, or for trying your luck at Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino.
Taos
Taos has a little bit of everything. In Taos, you can ski at Taos Ski Valley or immerse yourself in art at a local gallery! Where it really shines, however, is in wine production. Taos is the oldest wine-growing area in the U.S., and they have some great wineries that are worth exploring! Spend the morning at Taos Pueblo and then take a wine tour in the evening!
How will you be spending Valentine's Day this year? Why not head to New Mexico?! Make your plans today!
