Albuquerque, New Mexico is a city of art, diverse culture, lasting traditions, and rich history. The city is the hot air ballon capital of the world, the home of famous Route 66, and the birthplace of authentic New Mexican cuisine. The city is just minutes from arid foothills, a hiker’s and backpacker’s paradise. Celebrating the powerful heritage that makes each city unique, Anderson Design group added this turn- of-the-century styled illustration to our American Travel series, our respectful salute to a true gem of the American Southwest.
