In Santa Fe, The Best Festivals Are The Ones With The Most Firepower<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-1.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: The Official Burning of Zozobra via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>Every year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/santa-fe-nm\/\">Santa Fe<\/a> is home to the Fiestas de Santa Fe. It\u2019s a week-long celebration with arts, crafts, amazing foods and mariachi bands. The festivities culminate with the burning of a ginormous marionette. If you saw that thing coming at you down a dark alley, you\u2019d understand why they burn it.<\/p>\n<h2>2. The Most Amazing New Mexican Lunches Are Served In The Shed<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-2.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user uberculture<\/div>\n<p>Don\u2019t let the name fool you, this local lunch spot is as vibrant as the Santa Fe sunset. It has a funky, New Mexican flair coming out of every corner. Your best bet is probably the blue corn enchilada, but everything is a winner on this menu.<\/p>\n<h2>3. But Santa Fe Can Do Barbecue Too<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-27.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: The Cowgirl BBQ via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>It might not be Texas, but New Mexico can serve up some pretty amazing BBQ, too! Oddly enough, though, if you decide to hit up Cowgirl BBQ, you should probably try their World Famous Butternut Squash Casserole. I think it\u2019s the caramelized onions that give it the extra kick.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Santa Fe Pretty Much Inspired One Of The Best Artists Ever<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-5.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Alfred Stieglitz via Wikipedia<\/div>\n<p>Is it any surprise that one of the most artsy towns in the world was also the stomping ground of one of the most famous artists in history?<br \/>\nThe queen of the southwestern landscape, Georgia O\u2019Keeffe, resided around The City Different much of her life and it served as the inspiration for some of her best work. In return, Santa Fe built her a museum.<\/p>\n<h2>5. And No Wonder, Because The Views Are Beautiful No Matter Where You Look<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-6.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Nicholas_T<\/div>\n<p>The beautiful architecture, combined with the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the distance make for quite an enchanting view. You\u2019ll understand why Santa Fe became such an artistic town when you see what a work of art the city itself has become.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Santa Feans Are Way More Outdoorsy Than You<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-7.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user BFS Man<\/div>\n<p>If the people here aren\u2019t skiing, they\u2019re climbing, biking, hiking or just soaking up the sun outdoors.<br \/>\nSanta Fe is an outdoor mecca, evidenced by the fact that Outside Magazine decided to set up shop here. If the premier magazine for outdoor sports says that Santa Fe is the best place for outdoorsmen to reside, they\u2019re probably right.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Santa Fe Has The Best Green Chile Burger Ever<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-8.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Santa Fe Bite via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>You might hear tell of a famous green chile burger at a place called Bobcat Bite. Well, that place still exists (sort of), but the true owners found their restaurant was usurped out from under them. That delicious burger has now found its home at the newly opened Santa Fe Bite. You haven\u2019t tried Santa Fe until you\u2019ve had some Santa Fe Bite.<\/p>\n<h2>8. The Santa Fe Opera Is World Famous<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-9.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Santa Fe Opera via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s viewed as one of the best places to introduce a new opera to the world. 11 international and 44 American operas have debuted here.<\/p>\n<h2>9. You Could Drive Around This Landscape For Hours<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-10.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user dherrera_96<\/div>\n<p>Enchanted Circle is a scenic drive located on the outskirts of Santa Fe. It\u2019s easy to spend hours getting lost in the winding roads as you make your way around the mountains. Especially in the winter when the snow blankets the trees and creates a sight you can\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Santa Fe Owns The Arts. Don\u2019t You Even Try To Deny It.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-11.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Larry1732<\/div>\n<p>Neo-classical, modern, Native American&#8230; You name it, they\u2019ve got it. People come from all over the world to see the artists in this town.<\/p>\n<h2>11. The Red River Skiing Area Has Some Of The Sickest Slopes In The Nation<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-12.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user globalreset<\/div>\n<p>That\u2019s right, there\u2019s a ski resort in the New Mexican desert. Mostly it\u2019s just there to spite all of the people who think that New Mexico is a brown wasteland. Because it\u2019s not. At all. In fact, it\u2019s home to some of the sickest slopes in the whole nation.<\/p>\n<h2>12. There Are Full Seasons In The High Desert<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-3.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user chippenziedeutch<\/div>\n<p>When most people think of New Mexico, they probably think of a big, empty desert. You might be shocked that they actually have all four seasons here in Santa Fe. And it snows. Not Midwest snow, but enough that they built a pretty impressive ski resort here.<\/p>\n<h2>13. But Don\u2019t Be Fooled, This Is Still The Desert And Your Skin Is Gonna Get Flaky<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-4.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Katie Tegtmeyer<\/div>\n<p>But the summer still gets hot and dry; so dry that your face might crack like the desert floor if you don\u2019t take proper care of it. Lotion up before you get here!<\/p>\n<h2>14. And Sunscreen Will Be Your New Best Friend<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-23.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Fifth World Art<\/div>\n<p>The sun is blistering hot in the summertime and, if you\u2019re not careful, you\u2019ll end up looking like ripe red pepper after a few hours in this Santa Fe sun. Sunscreen is a necessity here, not an option. Nobody likes melanoma.<\/p>\n<h2>15. Native American Influence Is All Over The Place<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-13.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user kevincole<\/div>\n<p>The Plaza has more Native American crafts and art than you\u2019ll know what to do with. It\u2019s full of a wealth of history that you can take home and put in your foyer, if you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n<h2>16. Santa Fe\u2019s Caf\u00e9s Are More Colorful Than A Double Rainbow<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-14.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Caf\u00e9 Pasqual\u2019s Santa Fe, New Mexico via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for the best breakfast in town look no further than Caf\u00e9 Pasqual\u2019s. This colorful little caf\u00e9 is located downtown and serves up some of the best smoked trout hash you\u2019ll ever taste. Make sure to tell them to slather on a pile of tomatillo salsa.<\/p>\n<h2>17. And The Museums Are The Coolest Around<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-15.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Institute of American Indian Art via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>If you really want to learn about Santa Fe history, the Palace of the Governors is the museum you need to visit. From adobe structures to Native American traditions, this building has more information than you can probably get through in a lifetime.<br \/>\nFun Fact: It\u2019s also the oldest occupied building in the country.<\/p>\n<h2>18.The Cathedral Basilica Of Saint Francis Of Assisi Is The Prettiest Building In Town<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/santa+fe+cathedral.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user sarahstierch<\/div>\n<p>This old-school Roman Catholic cathedral is a focal point in town, and a wonderful place to visit if you want to check out how adobe architecture factors into the church. Not only is it one of the prettiest structures in town, but it\u2019s also an important part of the annual Fiestas de Santa Fe.<\/p>\n<h2>19. Super Bowl? No, Santa Feans Celebrate The Souper Bowl Around Here<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-17.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user stevendepolo<\/div>\n<p>You read that right\u2013Souper Bowl. As in, a bowl of soup. If you think your chicken noodle soup has what it takes to best all the other recipes out there, then here\u2019s your chance to test your mettle. This annual competition pits local soup connoisseurs against each other to see who\u2019s the best of the best.<\/p>\n<h2>20. Santa Fe\u2019s Cycling Routes Are So Scenic, You Might Just Fall Off Your Bike Staring At The Views<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-18.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Santa Fe Century via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>The annual Santa Fe Century bike ride is open to all participants and will take you along the old mining towns of the Turquoise Trail all the way through the Estancia Valley. Just try not to get so wrapped up in the scenery that you run into an armadillo or something.<\/p>\n<h2>21. Santa Fe Hosts The Largest Folk Art Market IN THE WORLD<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-19.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: International Folk Art Alliance via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>Do you prefer your home decor to be completely hand-made? Well, then, the International Folk Art Market is for you. It\u2019s the largest folk art market in the world, and brings in artists from over 50 different countries to share their work.<br \/>\nIt happens in July, around the same time as the Spanish and Indian Markets. They love markets in Santa Fe, in case you couldn\u2019t tell.<\/p>\n<h2>22. The Burritos Are Like Christmas In Your Mouth<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-20.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Tia Sophia\u2019s Restaurant via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>Tia Sophia is a great little spot to grab a quick bite to eat any time of the day. If you go for the breakfast burrito, and you should, make sure to ask for it \u201cChristmas Style.\u201d That\u2019s when they thrown on a heaping serving of both green chile and red chile.<\/p>\n<h2>23. Smash Grapes With Your Feet And String Chili Ristras At The Harvest Festival<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-21.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: El Rancho de las Golondrinas via Facebook<\/div>\n<p>One of the most popular celebrations each year is the Harvest Festival. You get to help make tortillas by hand, bake bread, string chili ristras and jump up and down on grapes to make wine. If you\u2019ve always wondered what it\u2019s like to use your hands to cultivate the land, here\u2019s your chance!<\/p>\n<h2>24. Santa Fe Is Where The Stars Come To Stay<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-22.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Neon Tommy<\/div>\n<p>When celebrities get tired of the hustle and bustle of L.A., they come to Santa Fe to relax. They usually end up staying. Julia Roberts, Val Kilmer, Gene Hackman and Shirley MacLaine, among others, have all called this city home at one point. Most of them still do.<\/p>\n<h2>25. Maria Serves The Best Drinks In Santa Fe<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-24.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Lotus Carroll<\/div>\n<p>Beef meatballs with green chili? Yes, please! But you\u2019ll want to have a margarita with whatever you decide to order at Maria\u2019s New Mexican Kitchen. They were voted the best in Santa Fe. There are over 100 to choose from, and you can\u2019t go wrong with a single one. But the Peach Margarita is pretty popular, I hear.<\/p>\n<h2>26. Santa Feans Like To Celebrate Their Native Heritage At The Indian Market<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 587px\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/05\/moveto-santafe\/moveto-santafe-25.jpg\" alt=\"Moving to Santa Fe \" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Larry1732<\/div>\n<p>Every year over 175,000 people flock to Santa Fe for the Indian Market. You\u2019ll find people selling traditional Native American artwork, performing dances and sharing a lot of history and culture with the locals. They even hold a contest for the best-made Native American clothing. It\u2019s a can\u2019t-miss if you\u2019re living in Santa Fe, or even passing through.<\/p>\n<h2>27.
