Albuquerque is the industrial powerhouse of New Mexico (Capital Santa Fe). It is impressive situated between the Rio Grande and the Sandia Peaks. It is pretty much like most US-Cities of that size, but surrounded by Indian-Reservates and impressive Landscape. The climate is perfect - almost year- around dry and sunny - but not hot.
