The final week of HuffPost’s Listen To America road trip brought us to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

New Mexico’s largest city is the setting for shows like “Breaking Bad,” “In Plain Sight” and “Better Call Saul.” It’s also rich in history, with adobe buildings in historic Old Town that date back to the 18th century.

HuffPost arrived in the city mere weeks after the International Balloon Fiesta, which is the largest gathering of hot air balloons in the world, but the city’s many museums ― like the Albuquerque Museum and the Albuquerque Biological Park ― are open year-round.

We visited the Albuquerque Sign Language Academy and interviewed locals. Here are some photos from our time in New Mexico:
