Visit Madrid, New Mexico

Madrid New Mexico is a unique place in the "Land of Enchantment". From the late 19th century to the middle of the 20th it was an important coal mining center. When the coal mines closed in 1954 it became a ghost town for about 20 years. In the 1970s the town was resurrected as an art colony. Today you can see traces of our mining history but also enjoy the art and Services provided by the current residents of Madrid.
