New Mexico PBS "Moments in Time": The Last Hurdle: El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro

At the end of an arduous 6 month, 1600 mile trek northward to Spain's new colonial capital of Santa Fe, Spanish colonists faced one last hurdle -- the La Bajada Mesa. Noted archeologist Michael Marshall walks us through the trail as it travels up the mesa. Historian Dr. Estevan Rael-Gálvez and executive director of the National Hispanic Cultural Center shares his thoughts on the significance of the Camino Real.

Qué bonito documento! Preciosos paisajes, asombrosa Historia, muy agradable escuchar al chico de la corbata amarilla que lo comenta y muy entrañable ver las posesiones que llevaban "un rollo de tafetán de seda de China, objetos de porcelana, rosas de Castilla, azafrán, vino sacramental...." Qué bonito, poético, incluso, diría yo... Me encantaría recorrer ese camino, no en verano, claro, porque no aguantaría ni dos días.

You are wrong about everything! This is the BS we have to deal with these days You need to talk to the "old people " the actual people, not the kids or your made up stories for money! I don't believe we are the only ones! And please NV spill the beans! I've seen it tell us the stories!
