Arts & Culture
Tubac is fun to visit - you can walk for hours through the shops, galleries, and restaurants. "Tubac was established in 1752 as a Spanish presidio – the remains of which are open for guided tours – but today, artists are a more likely sight in this town than a military garrison would be.
Some 80 unique stores and galleries populate this walkable village – so many that the city refers to itself as an artist colony. Color spills out into the streets, often in the form of larger-than-life handcrafted metal flowers or blown-glass sculptures spinning in the wind. Pop into a shop for Turkish rugs, hand-painted silk scarves, and live-edge mesquite tables." (from visit arizona.com)
