Walk to town to the coffee shop, The South Park Saloon and Alma's only Bar for food and drink, and all the quaint little shops on the main drag.
The Town of Alma is a true community. The citizens of not only the town but of the surrounding communites join together many times a year to celebrate the joy of living in a small mountain community. The town truly can relate to the Spanish definition of alma meaning soul.
