La Luz & Tularosa

The painters, writers and craftspeople who live in the tiny enclave of La Luz, 4 miles north of Alamogordo, share a passion for creating artwork and living off the land; a wild outpost, it’s well worth a browse. Another 10 miles north, the attractive village of Tularosa is dominated by the 1869 St Francis de Paula Church, built in a simple New Mexican style.
