It may be small but it is power-packed with history. Dial back to 1610 when the heating source for this adobe town was delivered on the backs of the burros. Because the burros do what they do, the burros and their handlers were relegated to the alley where the owners could clean up after these hard working animals.Today, the Alley operates as a fun and off-the-beaten-path place to dine or to frequent the art galleries that line this quiet and quaint stretch of land.
