San Fidel

San Fidel is a small Hispanic community that includes a number of picturesque buildings. Though there are still people that live here, San Fidel is long past its prime. In the old days there were a number of cafes and automobile services in this fading town. However, today it appears that the only thing operating is the St. Josephs Catholic Church, its private Catholic School across the street, and the post office which has been doing business since 1919. Back in the heydays of Route 66, it was not at all uncommon to see Indians sitting along the roadway selling pottery. Today, a stray dog walking down the road is about the most life that you see in this old town.
