Corrales is a village on the west bank of the Rio Grande, in central New Mexico. Despite being in the Albuquerque metro area, sandwiched between Albuquerque and the large suburb of Rio Rancho, Corrales has held on to its rural roots. The main and only road through Corrales is two lanes and 30 mph and lined with picturesque adobe buildings, many of them containing locally owned shops. There are often local events to take in, including farmer's markets, art tours, and heritage celebrations.
