About Albuquerque, New Mexico: Where Cultures and Route 66 Converge

Founded in 1706 along the Rio Grande, Albuquerque grew from a Spanish colonial settlement into the largest city along Historic Route 66. When the highway’s 1937 realignment directed traffic straight through the city, Albuquerque became a vital crossroads for travelers heading both east and west.

Its legendary stretch, Central Avenue, came alive with a kaleidoscope of neon motels, lively diners serving green chile dishes, and curio shops bursting with handcrafted treasures. Albuquerque’s identity is deeply rooted in its rich cultural blend, a seamless fusion of Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo influences.

Visitors can explore its Old Town, with centuries-old adobe buildings and bustling markets, or marvel at the KiMo Theatre, a 1927 Pueblo Deco masterpiece that remains one of Route 66’s architectural highlights.

The city’s enduring connection to the Mother Road thrives through lovingly restored motor courts like the El Vado Motel and community celebrations such as the Route 66 Summerfest, which fills the streets each year with music, art, and nostalgia. 

Framed by the majestic Sandia Mountains and painted by desert sunsets, Albuquerque embodies the living soul of Route 66: where past and present, culture and adventure converge beneath the neon glow of the open road.
