Once home to the large mining community, Madrid is now a sleepy little town of artists. With an ice cream parlour and old fashioned businesses, Madrid feels other-worldly to visitors. Homes here are early 20th century wooden structures painted a variety of colors. Just north of Madrid is Cerrillos, a traditional New Mexico village of older adobes and quaint shops. Located just northeast of Albuquerque between Albuquerque and Santa Fe along Highway 14 – the Turquoise Trail – near the Rio Grande River, this community includes County Road 55, Goldmine Road, Golden and Edgewood.
