Fodor's Review:

Located 20 minutes southeast of downtown El Paso (though still located within the greater El Paso area), the 17th-century Socorro Mission is famed for its fine vigas—the carved ceiling beams that support the roof—and is used for weddings and funerals. A Mission Trail Association (915/851-9997) guide conducts tours here most days of the week, unless services are being held. The church itself is working to organize donation-based tours, and will likely have tour offerings by the end of 2008.

  • Cost: Free
