Tubac Village

This is one of my favorite spots. An historic village dating back to the early 1600s. Its town motto is «Where Art and History Meet»
Lived here for 10 years and it’s calling my name again. The first time I visited this artist village I bought a house. It took just an afternoon of walking the unpaved streets and visiting the shops and galleries to know I belonged. The town does not have any traffic lights or evening street lights. All the shops close at 5:00 so make sure you come early to shop and stay for dinner.
The sky is so clear you feel like you can touch the stars. The observatory bans out door lighting that faces up or over head street lights
AZ is a free range state so cattle can roam in your backyard. Along with deer, coyotes, javalena
Rattle snakes. Small pets can not be let out alone.
Sounds dangerous but they do not come by often in the populated areas mostly just keep to the open planes. Once you leave the main road the streets are no longer paved. Neither are the 6 streets that make up the village «downtown» so to speak.
One of the best Mexican food restaurants can be found in this little village. Elvira’s has come from across the border and blessed this town with a five star eatery. You foodies will love it. Haven’t had time to explore the rest of the new restaurants but will be here for a few weeks will post as I do.

We came here a few days ago after seeing a advertisement in the Tucson Visitor’s Guide and we weren’t disappointed.
Tubac is the real deal, with lots of really cool shops and stores. Heck, there’s even an App you can download for your phone. Tubac is an old 1691 Mission town, that has been reborn as an artists community. Nearly half of the stores are galleries, the rest are jewelry and outdoor yard places. If UR looking for that one of the kind rusting javelina for your backyard desert scape, then you’ll find it here.
Another reason to come to Tubac is the food. There’s lots of choices, but we were shocked by the layers of tasty goodness you’ll find at Elvira’s
It’s the best Mexican food we’ve ever had, at any price. Really! Like Five Stars Plus.
Enjoy!
