Traveler advice
Customs and culture
Meaning of Cars "flashing" their lights in Placitas
If you see cars "flash" their lights in Placitas, it usually means that their are horses ahead!
Getting around
Rail Runner
Rail Runner train runs from Belen, NM through Albuquerque to Santa Fe, NM...travels around 80 mph. Stops along the way! Drops off in Santa Fe...right at Tomacito's Mexican Restaurant!
Then you can take a bus to downtown or browse thru the shops around the restaurant.
