Corrales offers something for everyone. Art lovers will find galleries and shops featuring locally made artwork. If you love copper artwork a visit to Gallery G7 is a must. It features cooper pieces that will fit any collection. We especially like their animal and plant pieces. Is collecting pottery to enhance your table more to your liking? Then a visit to Hanselmann's is for you. We own several pieces here at the inn, purchased because their colors reminded me of a New Mexico sunset.
History buffs will enjoy a visit toCasa San Ysidro located in Corrales, or strolling Old Town Albuquerque. Or, combine history and hiking with a visit to Bandelier National Monument, home of the cliff dwelling Anasazi.
