Iconic Friday

Iconic New Mexico, USA, images and architecture. 

The El Vado Motel has been restored to its historic look, a posh place in its time.  Still quite lovely.  Fewer rooms for rent, more places to eat which serves the Bio Park and Botanical Gardens across the street. Very popular area for tourists and locals. Live music on the weekends.  (Google El Vado Motel, Historic Photos)
