Actually Santa Fe is 1,200 miles from Mexico City(1,400 miles driving).
Santa Fe is 1,600 miles from Washington D.C(1,800 miles driving). Which is 400 miles further than Mexico City.

El Camino Real de Tierra adentro can be translated to Inland Royal Road, I think.

You've got it wrong, the main Camino Real did split in two, one went to Guanajuato and the other continued to Zacatecas, via San Felipe, Ojuelos, etc.

There are several places "the Camino Real" branched out. We have it right, so do you.

[@ElPasoHistoryTV]

I believe we quoted the one used first to reach into what is now Texas.

Just to clarify Isleta is in New Mexico in between Los Lunas and Albuquerque not in Texas as you say in the video church is the oldest in Texas that is incorrect and I would know because my sister was baptized at the isleta Catholic Church

[@jacksonpolk1872]

The Ysleta Mission in Ysleta, Texas is the oldest church in Texas.
