English, Spanish, and Tewa-a Native American language-are spoken here,
but the universal language in Taos is art. Taos, in north-central New
Mexico, has been a thriving artists' community since the early 20th
century. While art is pivotal to the area, don't neglect Taos'
historical museums, interesting shops, and scrumptious Tex-Mex
cuisine. The area is also a recreational playground, where you can
ski, snowboard, hike, bike or kayak amid a landscape of expansive
vistas and castles of clouds against radiant red earth.
