The Camino Real in New Mexico was the northern part of a historic roadway known as the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro that from 1598 ran from Mexico City northward through central and northern Mexico and the Trans-Pecos part of what is now Texas to San Juan Pueblo (Ohkay Owingeh) in Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico, now the state of New Mexico.
Fourteen sections of the Camino Real (El Camino Real) in New Mexico were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2018.
Some or all of them are parts of the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro ( transl. Royal Road of the Interior Land), which was an historic 2,560-kilometre-long (1,590 mi) trade route between Mexico City and San Juan Pueblo, from 1598 to 1882. It was the northernmost of the four major "royal roads" that linked Mexico City to its major tributaries during and after the Spanish colonial era. [1]
