Meandering down the old Mission Road we stayed off the interstate that takes you to the Mexican border town of Nogales. We stopped short at a small village called Tubac. In 1752 the Presidio San Ignacio de Tubac was established as the first Spanish built fortress in what is known today as Arizona. It was put in place to protect the colonists from the Apache Indians. Late in the 19th century the fort was decommissioned. The settlement is best known today as an "artist colony". The artwork is wonderful Southwestern flair. Pots, jewelry, paintings, food, yard art, woven blankets and other interesting artifacts.
