About Taos, New Mexico:
Taos Indian Pueblo has been continually inhabited for almost 1000 years.
It is nestled in a valley in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and towered
over by Taos Mountain. The Spanish arrived in Taos in the 1600's drawn by stories
of gold. They found no gold, but smitten by the magic qualities of Taos, New Mexico
they also stayed.
Artists have also found Taos so intriguingly beautiful that they have gathered
together contributing to the mix of cultures. Over the years a world-renowned
artists colony has been formed.
Today this diverse mix of Indian, Spanish and Artists has created a magnetic
draw for many people to visit and then often to relocate.
