I won’t pretend Court Street is always easy to find, but it is worth it. This short little street has plenty of on-street and pay-lot parking. El Charro is a terrific Mexican restaurant and Old Town Artisans is a collection of local artists providing not only souvenirs for visitors but terrific art for the local collector as well. If nothing else, have someone give you a tour of the hacienda that houses the shops.

The homes are beautiful and many have been converted to offices, but everyone keeps the street looking homey and full of desert blooms.
