The City Different

Such is one of the monikers that La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís goes by. The oldest and highest capital city in the U.S., where the boundaries between cultures are fluid, and where English is spoken by those who grew up here with an instantly recognizable accent. Is it a Spanish colonial outpost, a Native American pueblo, or an Old West frontier town? It is none of these, and all of these.
