Albuquerque

What is it like to visit—or live in—one of the most exciting places in the country? Albuquerque: Portrait of a Western City uniquely captures what the city is all about and what it has to offer.

Then Mary Kay Cline, former CEO of the Albuquerque Convention & Visitors Bureau, creates a definitive guidebook to the city for tourists and residents alike. Compiled as Albuquerque celebrates its Tricentennial, this book—really two books in one—provides ample evidence for why the city is winning raves as the place to be!
