9 10 isit the Village of Corrales, and step back in time to Van era and place where life moved slowly and agriculture was king. Casa San Ysidro and Old San Ysidro Church, Corrales both windows to the past, hold a special place in the hearts of locals. Casa integrates many generations of New Mexican creativity in its structure and its furnishings. The church holds the spiritual and emotional aspirations of centuries within her walls. Casa was and still is a working farm, growing green chili and other traditional New Mexican crops. The difficulties of life in the 1800’s is reflected in the severe portrait of Encarnación Gutiérrez hanging in the front hall. Casa San Ysidro and Old San Ysidro Church are vital parts of the Corrales community today. Old San Ysidro Church hosts many wonderful events. It is a unique venue for Music in Corrales, a yearly concerts series of classical, jazz, folk and more. Their speakers series presents historical and cultural information. The Church houses two major fine arts and crafts shows and a fiber art show every year. One of the Fine Arts Shows is now taking place during the week of the Balloon Fiesta. Do plan to attend. Both Casa and the Old Church are treasured destination points during Corrales’ seasonal celebrations, the Spring Heritage Festival and the Fall Harvest Festival. The Village of Corrales holds other popular annual events. The Corrales Art Studio Tour and the Holiday Art Fest are favorites of art lovers. Families love the July 4th Parade, and the Winter Holiday Season starts with the Starlight Parade. Anytime is good to visit the local wineries, hike or ride on the trails of the Bosque along the river, and get fresh veggies at the vibrant Farmer’s Market. Art abounds in Corrales with an active artist community and a Main Street lined with galleries, unique shops and fine restaurants. All are welcome to experience the rich artistic and historical character of the village. Breathe in the sounds and scents of rural life; leave the stresses of modern life behind as you experience the mountains, river, forest and fields, history and culture of Corrales.
