Corrales New Mexico during Chile Harvest

John McCormack- Owner/Broker REALTOR, e-PRO: Real Estate Agent in Albuquerque, NM

Corrales NM is a beautiful village on the outskirts of Albuquerque NM. The population is around 7,500 and offers an old world feel. You will find beautiful homes tucked away in the Bosque or Cottonwood forest. Many properties have outstanding Sandia Mountain and Albuquerque city light views. Corrales is part of the Albuquerque metropolitan statistical area. With excellent proximity to The Rio Grande and the Bosque on the eastern edge the village provides refuge for native animals and plants. Corrales is an equestrian community and its quite common to see horses grazing or being ridden down the winding roads. The village fights hard to maintain its old world ambiance while being surrounded by the large cities of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho NM.

During the later summer and fall months chile and other produce are brought in from the local farms and sold in various markets. Wagner Farms is a favorite for locals and visitors alike. They will roast 50lb bags of Chile on sight so you can put them up for the winter months. Green chile is used prominently in these parts for many delicious and spicy recipes. Don’t forget the apples, peaches, melons and so much more. Come enjoy Corrales New Mexico during the chile harvest!

An Afternoon in Corrales New Mexico

Indigo Crow Restaraunt in Corrales

Recently I spent an afternoon in beautiful Corrales New Mexico.

It all started with a nice relaxing lunch at the Indigo Crow Cafe.

Corrales is located along the banks of the Rio Grande just north of Albuquerque and south and east of Rio Rancho.

One of the nice things about Corrales is that even on a 95 degree day in Albuquerque you can drive to Corrales to escape some of the heat.

Even though it was really HOT that day, we ate outside in the shade of the tree-covered patio and were very comfortable.

The Entrance to the Indigo Crow

Corrales is located in the Rio Grande Valley, and even though it's only minutes from Albuquerque and Rio Rancho it might as well be hours away.

Not only are the temperatures cooler in Corrales, it's a totally different setting than the nearby city.

As you drive into Corrales you are welcomed by a sign that says "Slow Down, we are an animal friendly Village."

There are some businesses too, along the winding 30 MPH road that snakes through town, but not too many, just enough to get by.

Beautiful Horses in Corrales

As you drive through town you'll see a vineyard and an orchard, and you may even see a resident riding through town on horseback. It's so commonplace to see people riding in town that the locals barely notice. Don't look too hard or they'll know you're a tourist!

But if you get off that winding road that goes through town, you'll experience more of the rural Corrales charm that locals love and that fuels the dreams of many Albuquerque homeowners like me and my wife.

You'll see irrigated fields with apples and grapes, you'll see open fields and grazing horses, cattle, sheep and even some guinea hens.
