Milonga Puertitas ("little doors") will close out an awesome weekend at the beloved Albuquerque Tango Festival. Many may remember Las Puertas leading off as the venue at past ABQ Festivals. The new and iconic Las Puertas is smaller in size, but double in warmth and hospitality. It's one of the most unique venues in the country in which to dance tango.
