SAN ANTONIO – A Cultural Spark in the Lone Star State
In San Antonio, Texas, great civic pride is demonstrated through the preservation of history and tradition. The city embraces the many facets of its Tex-Mex heritage and flaunts a spicy Southwest character.
The historic center of San Antonio has as its core the Mission San Antonio de Valero – better known as the Alamo. The Alamo was founded in 1718 as the first mission in San Antonio, serving as a waystation between east Texas and Mexico. For 13 days in 1836, close to 200 Texas defenders held the Alamo from over one thousand of General Santa Anna’s troops from Mexico. The most famous of the defenders, William Travis, Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett, died fighting overwhelming odds for freedom. A visit
to the Alamo and its surrounding plaza is best appreciated on a guided tour. Visitors can also watch the most accurate depiction of the Battle of the Alamo at the IMAX movie theatre.
Another important icon, which symbolizes the heart and soul of the city, is River Walk, through which the San Antonio River flows. This lovely downtown park area of San Antonio is filled with trees, pathways and stone bridges, and is greatly enjoyed by visitors and residents alike. Be sure to take a relaxing narrated boat ride on which you are sure to lose yourself in the beguiling scenery
and atmosphere as you drift along this Paseo del Rio learning about the architecture and culture of the city.
In addition to river barge
cruisers, visitors can tour the
River Walk using the city’s
bike share program, B-Cycle.
With more than 50 stations
throughout downtown, you can
tour on two wheels through the
Mission Reach, a 1.33-mile
extension of River Walk featuring
visual and aural works of art,
terraces landscaped with native
plants, and pedestrian access to the San Antonio Museum of Art and the historic Pearl Brewery complex. River taxis pass through a lock and dam system to transport visitors to and from the original River Walk area.
Visitors to San Antonio also flock to El Mercado, an outdoor market spanning three downtown plazas that personifies the city’s Mexican heritage with a colorful bazaar of crafts and collectibles, as well as food products and restaurants. Music
and dancing representing the region’s folkloric traditions create a special festive flair.
