On my recent trip with my BFF and cousin Denise and daughter Jack, we spent the day in Tubac, Arizona, Southern Arizona’s growing artist colony! Located in the Santa Cruz River Valley, Tubac, AZ has a 250-year-old Spanish history.
Tubac is the perfect shoppers’ paradise with over eighty galleries and shops that feature hand-crafted items, sculpture, paintings, clothing and some of Southern Arizona’s best import shops. Tubac restaurants offer lunch and dinner menus that range from elegant dining to tasty, barbeque cook burgers.
We had a great lunch at The Italian Peasant where we had a wonderful caesar salad and baked ziti.
After a very filling lunch we walked around the Tubac Art Festival. There was beautiful art work, great kettle corn and a sunny day! Our first stop was a bronze art studio …
I would love to go back to this artsy town when the festival is not there also, as I only visited the art on the streets…
The pottery was gorgeous …
I had so much fun finding little things to take photos of …
My absolute favorite of all the things I saw this day are …
Look at those little birds!
Check back next time for our stay in Rio Rico, Arizona that evening.
