Nearby Attractions
The
Village of Corrales
is home to woodworkers, artists, sculptors, clothing
designers, jewelers, musicians, writers and dozens of other artists. There
are several very fine restaurants in Corrales, or nearby.
The Cultural Arts Council and the Corrales Historic Society provide
concerts, dramatic performances, lectures, and showings at the community
center located at the former San Ysidro Church on Old Church Road.
There are fiestas and harvest celebrations, wine
tasting events, and traditional Hispanic and
Native American dances and religious observances throughout the year.
Two of Corrales' most historic buildings are available for viewing.
Casa San Ysidro Museum
is a 1650's estate that is now operated by the Albuqerque Museum.

The Old San Ysidro Church
(1850's) is also a Southwest treasure not to be missed.
Day trips to the
Indian Pueblos,
Santa Fe,
Taos,
the Bosque del Apache Bird Sanctuary at Socorro and several national
monuments and forests, are an easy drive. The
Kodak Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
takes
place just across the river; the Arabian Horse Show is held at the Fair
Grounds in Albuquerque. Premier
ski resorts
and a number of championship golf courses are close by.
Some of the
finest restaurants
in New Mexico are a short drive.
If you are into
outdoor activities, nearby there is horseback riding, hiking,
river rafting, golfing, fishing, bird watching, world class shopping,
museums, and
galleries.
And if shopping is your pleasure, there are many merchants within a short drive of Nora Dixon Place, including
Cottonwood Mall and, of course, Rio Rancho, which borders Corrales to the west.
Intel, the largest manufacturer in the State of New Mexico,
is "just up the hill" overlooking the Village to the east.
Then, of course, there is always the Kodak Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
. This huge event draws over 100,000 visitors and 1000+ balloons
to the area every October. And you can see it all from the patio and porticos of Nora Dixon Place . . . well, if you're
gotten your reservations in early.
There's something for every taste. The tough part is choosing!
