From Boomtown to Time Capsule: The Enigmatic Allure of Madrid, New Mexico | Ken Hulsey Photographer
Nestled along New Mexico State Road 14, also known as the Turquoise Trail, between Albuquerque and Santa Fe , lies the small and eclectic town of Madrid.

During its heyday, the town boasted the largest coal mining companies west of the Mississippi, a professional baseball team, and Christmas celebrations that attracted thousands of visitors from around the world.
