You will find the quaint mountain village of Madrid scenically nestled in a narrow canyon in the Ortiz Mountains. To get there you simply follow the Scenic Turquoise Trail (State Highway 14), which runs between Albuquerque and Santa Fe.Once a coal-mining ghost town, Madrid has re-invented itself to offer tourists a range of outdoor activities as well as many interesting shops, restaurants and even a museum. You can go hiking or horse-back riding in the Cirrillos Hill State Park or enjoy modern New Mexico cuisine at The Mine Shaft Tavern.
