Earlier this month, we shared a list of some of the reasons why we LOVE El Paso, Texas.  As there are sooo many reasons we love living here at Cantera apartments in El Paso and our community that surrounds us, we decided to continue the trend.  See our top picks below and we will see you out and about!

We LOVE to Kick-up our Heels

OK, remember, we are talking about Texas and El Paso has a very rich history of the wild, wild west. Hundreds of filmmakers have flocked to and continue to visit El Paso to set their script’s scene in the colorful deserts that surround our city.  We’re also home to one of the oldest rodeos in the world. It’s been our showcase event for over eight decades and continues to draw some of the most talented rodeo pros throughout the globe.

As for country music … the local music and festivals are fabulous and the fans never ending!

If you are not into western swing, no problem here.  El Paso continues to shine as a salsa city that loves to dance into the night under our warm, clear, starry nights!

We Love the Food, You Will, Too!

Whether we are sharing our traditional Chile Rellenos at the neighbor’s Potluck, or heading out to El Paso’s award-winning restaurants, it’s all good!  We are well known for our culinary scene that consistently blends generational dishes from America and across our close-by border of Mexico. We also like to spend hours (and sometimes, days) preparing a flavorful rub of our favorite spices on locally-sourced beef to put on the BBQ at the pool right here at home.

It’s All About the Brews, Blues and Beethoven, Too!

We’ll take this one at a time. First, whether you are a fan of IPAs or traditional Pilsners or prefer to just pass around a pint, you gotta LOVE El Paso. There are so many breweries in El Paso that you will need more than just one day to experience the local establishments that pour award-winning pints. Our team’s top picks include Blazing Tree Brewery, Old Sheepdog, Deadbeach Brewery, Aurellia’s Bottleshop and Brewery and  Craft Rhythm and Brews.

Speaking of rhythm, not a day goes by that our city streets and establishments lack the passion to share some of the newest and most traditional tunes that define El Paso and beyond.
