From the American Byways Web Site:
"Cultures along El Camino Real De Tierra Adentro (The Royal Road of the Interior Land), are as diverse as its history and scenery. Pueblos reveal artisans crafting wares using centuries-old methods. The route, first travelled by Don Juan de Onate in 1598, provided news, supplies, and travel to the first capital of the New World." Text Source: (visit link)
