The crow of roosters echoing through vineyards and orchards are your morning alarm clock in the village of Corrales. The name means "corrals" in Spanish, and the village maintains a pastoral charm even though it's on the edge of two major cities.
Nestled along the banks of the Rio Grande on the north side of the Albuquerque metropolitan area, the fertile lands of Corrales have been occupied since about 500 A.D. The village maintains a rural lifestyle to this day and its land is filled with vineyards, apple orchards and livestock pastures. Two ancient pueblos lie un-excavated within the village, and it is not unusual for residents to unearth artifacts dating back hundreds of years in their backyards. Today, Corrales maintains its Old World ambiance with charming touches you won't find in the city. Authentic mission-style architecture is meticulously maintained and includes old haciendas and the San Ysidro Mission. You'll find hitching posts in public parking areas and horses sharing the road with cars. One thing you won't see in Corrales is streetlights, which makes it easier to see a sky filled with millions of stars after dark. See more
