Hi there, I'm Joe DelGrande, and I'm from Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico!
I grew up surrounded by New Mexico and Burqueño culture, and learned Spanish as a second language by speaking with my grandparents.
Being from New Mexico is a major part of my identity, and I am certainly enraptured by the Land of Enchantment!
My hope is that, after browsing this site, you will feel similarly, and will want nothing more than to go take a visit as well!
If you have any questions about any of the sites mentioned here, or would like recommendations, please don't hesitate to let me know!
My neighborhood:
Area code:
Up until a few years ago, every New Mexican had a 505 area code. Finally, the New Mexican population grew large enough to warrant a 575 code.
I'm lucky enough to have gotten in before the change, and proudly carry a 505 before my phone number.
