- El Camino Real International Heritage Center
{ [advert|date=March 2008The Camino Real International Heritage Center is a transport museum located in New Mexico.
Mission
The center commemorates the heritage of the antiquated road that connected Mexico City with Santa Fe, New Mexico in the region once known as New Spain.
The center is jointly operated by the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management, an agency of the Government of the United States. In addition, both the countries of Spain and Mexico contributed to the project, making it a truly international undertaking.
Location
It is situated approximately halfway between the cities of Albuquerque, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas.
Displays
The site features a display of non-motorized travel aimed at providing modern motorists with an appreciation for the difficulty of traversing the desert environment. An outdoor amphitheater features traditional music heard along the journey reflecting the diverse folkways that developed as many cultures met on the legendary trade route.
:"note: When referring to the center, "El" may be dropped in favor of "the" to distinguish from the road, but the two words are never used together. Occasionally the word "International" is omitted."
