San Antonio Holidays
A holiday to San Antonio is a delightful assualt on the senses: It is Texas's most beautiful city and, with scent of huevos rancheros in the air, the sound of mariachi bands, and the sight of barges gently cruising down the San Antonio River, it's the state's most atmospheric city too. The famous symbol of Texas liberty - the Alamo - sits in a plaza in the heart of downtown San Antonio. So too does the Riverwalk, or Paseo del Rio, a lively area full of charming restaurants with alfresco dining and specialty shops shaded by tall buildings and cypress trees.
San Antonio sits on the edge of Hill Country, and is a gateway to a landscape of majestic live oaks, sparkling lakes, and verdant hill. San Antonio also isn't far from the Mexican border and was at one time the chief Mexican stronghold in Texas, so it’s not surprising that Hispanic culture is evident in the very fabric of the city’s everyday life.Browse through shops selling Mexican crafts and jewellery, eat fantastic Tex-Mex food, and enjoy the mariachi bands at Market Square.
Families are drawn to the big theme parks on the northwestern edge of town – Seaworld and Six Flags.
