		<description><![CDATA[Located in the high desert of Central New Mexico, Albuquerque is a city rich with Spanish and Mexican influences, as well as its own distinct cultural identity. As first-time visitors will find, Albuquerque is a casual, friendly city that welcomes tourists and newcomers to explore the area, try the cuisine, and join in the city’s annual festivals.

Founded as a Spanish settlement on the banks of the Rio Grande in 1706, the city was named for the Duke of Albuquerque. As the railroad passed through the area in 1880, a newer city sprang up around the tracks, just a few miles from the original settlement, and the focus shifted toward the bustling new railroad town. Both of these early locations are now part of modern day Albuquerque, and the city has since expanded to become the state’s largest urban center. ]]></description>
