Santa Fe Square
My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. The cobblestone paths can be rough on your feet after a while, and you'll probably end up doing more walking than you planned!
Make sure to stroll around the square during sunset; the light on the adobe buildings is absolutely stunning. Grab your camera ready, I think you wouldn't want to miss that.
Save some cash by packing a picnic instead of eating out. There's a nice little park area where you can relax and enjoy your meal while soaking in the atmosphere.
I suggest checking the calendar of events before you visit; there might be a local festival or market happening, and those can be the highlight of the trip. You never know what unexpected things you might discover!
The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi
I recommend visiting early in the morning, around 8 AM, to enjoy the beauty of the Cathedral without crowds. It's peaceful and perfect for photos.
I suggest wearing comfortable shoes. The cobblestone streets can be tricky, and you’ll want to explore the surrounding area too.
Chapel of Loretto
I think checking their website for any special events or concerts is a great idea. You might get lucky and enjoy some live music in the chapel itself
My advice is to bring a small camera or smartphone for photos but respect the no-flash rule inside the chapel. Some views are just breathtaking.
Mission San Miguel
My advice is to check out the small gift shop before leaving. They have some cool, unique items that aren't overpriced, and the staff is super friendly!
