LYD Spotlight: Marfa, Texas

If you are looking for a true and unique getaway from the city for a weekend, then set your sights on West Texas! And there lies an unforgettable city in the midst of the desert surroundings; Marfa, an artsy little village which without trying exemplifies the heart beat of the free spirit. It is located pretty much next to nothing, sitting nestled in the plateau region about two hours southwest of Midland, two hours southeast of El Paso, and an hour north of Big Bend and the Texas/Mexico Border. Marfa is a city which is all about slowin’ down the pace of life to about the speed of a tractor. But with its permanent population of about 2100 plus uncountable drifters, Marfa, and the surrounding Texas desert area has a lot to offer. The notable attractions include the famous Paisano Hotel which has been around for over half a century, dozens of art galleries including the one-of-a-kind Chanati Foundation, the enigmatic Marfa lights, and farm-fresh cooking at every restaurant. Forget cell phone service and city life and grab a bike or some good walking shoes and embrace the culture and speed of southwest Texas!
