Casa de Azucar– Sugar House

This is an amazing work of art! Rufino Loya Rivas, who started building  in 1973 and finished in 1998, created Intricately detailed flowers, leaves, and pineapples to decorate the wall that circles the small house where he lives with his wife. He also made several very elaborate religious alters and memorials.Everything is in perfect condition because 88 year old Riva is constantly touching it up. Slip a few dollars in the collection tin to help pay for paint.
There are several good curb cuts to the sidewalk. The house can also be seen from the street which has very little traffic. It’s also possible to see it all without leaving your vehicle.
Any size RV can be parked along the street. Casa de Azucar  31.83344, -106.44034

  1. That was on my list of things to see when I went through El Paso a few years ago. But plans didn't work out. It's still on my list, though.
