Travel Guide to the Loneliest Prada Marfa Town in the Desert

Today, I continue to introduce my solo journey across the United States from California to Texas. One of the stops I've been looking forward to on this trip is the artistic town in the Texas desert, a hidden gem in Texas, Marfa. The following attractions are sorted according to my time sequence, which can be used as a one-day travel guide to Marfa. ‼️Important tips: 1⃣️It is recommended to come from autumn to spring, it won't be so hot. 2⃣️Nearby Big Bend National Park, Guadalupe Mountain National Park, Fort Davis National Historic Site, and even White Sands National Park in New Mexico can be considered for a visit. They are all accessible by car. 3⃣️For food and accommodation, you can choose El Paso, Marfa, Alpine, Fort Davis. 📍🌟Prada Marfa. I believe that most people know Marfa because of this Prada store. A Prada store in the heart of the desert, with vast deserts on both sides, only this one building stands alone by the road. It is actually a modern art piece. There are indeed some bags and shoes inside, but you can't go in. You can only stand by the road and take pictures with a strong western road feel. It's very photogenic. I've always liked the sense of loneliness of buildings in the desert. 📍🌟Giant Marfa Mural, also a few big brands 3d modeling. 📍Welcome to Marfa sign, the sign before entering Marfa. 📍Moonlight Gemstones, a quaint blue shop. 📍Marfa Water Tower. 📍Greetings from Marfa Texas Mural, located at Frama Coffee. Check-in point! 📍🌟The Hotel Paisano, a landmark hotel. You can stay and experience it. The central courtyard and restaurant are romantic. 📍Presidio County Courthouse, a beautiful courthouse building in orange and pink next to it. There is also a Marfa sign next to it. 📍There are art shops in the town to visit. 📍🌟Chinati Foundation, closes at 5pm. Be sure to go early! Very industrial design, a lot of light and color design. A niche modern art museum. 📍El Cosmico hotel, a desert hotel where you can stay in a trailer. 🏜️A small town in the desert, niche art, desert art. You can consider adding this Marfa town to your itinerary. You will get a lot of surprises.
