In the colonial silver mining town of Alamos, Sonora:

La Puerta Roja Inn: Teri Arnold's European-style bed and breakfast occupies one of the historic homes in Alamos.

Once the wealthiest town in the region, one of the original stops on the Camino Real, the Spanish Andalusian architecture and cobblestone streets make this quiet town seem suspended in a more elegant time.

Crickethead Inn: Mike Lord's burnt adobe inn is surrounded by the Sonoran Desert near the hiking trails of Saguaro National Park West.
