Santa Fe, New Mexico

Population: 62,203

Santa Fe's unique blend of Spanish and Pueblo Indian heritage lends it a rich multicultural flair. Walking through the historic downtown Plaza or past the art galleries lining Canyon Road, it's not unusual to see an adobe building dating back to the 17th century, or a statue paying homage to early Spanish settlers. The area attracts visual artists from around the globe, who yearn to capture the colors and lines of its unique rock formations and plant life. The town practically hums with creativity, and many famous artistic figures have lived in or emerged from Santa Fe, including painter Georgia O'Keeffe and writer Cormac McCarthy.
