Embassy Suites Hotel El Paso

Ysleta Mission was founded to serve the Spanish and Tigua Indians who fled northern New Mexico after the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. The Indians have maintained their tribal identity, and today operate the new Speaking Rock Casino next to the Mission. Nearby on Socorro Road is the Tigua Cultural Center, with several gift shops and a small museum.

The Socorro Mission was built in 1692 and, like nearby Ysleta Mission, destroyed by floods and rebuilt. A few miles down Socorro Road is the former county seat of San Elizario, established in 1789 as a Spanish fort to protect the Camino Real. Its chapel, commonly called the San Elizario Mission, faces a small town plaza that retains a quiet, historic charm.

The return trip can include a stop at the El Paso Museum of History, just off the freeway east of the city. A perfect dinner after a day of sightseeing is at La Hacienda Restaurant on Paisano Avenue west of downtown. The restaurant serves a full course of history with each meal of traditional Mexican cooking: It's the former home of pioneer Simeon Hart, who founded a mill at the site in 1849. The hacienda also overlooks the Rio Grande near the spot where Oñate first forded the river, and one of the early sites of Fort Bliss.
