The Spirit of Texas
Experience Wild West charm in the state’s most popular city - San Antonio
San Antonio is very much like the Tejano music that gives it its characteristic pulse—passionate if a bit sentimental, vibrantly colorful, and funky enough to groove to the nasal wail of accordions. Its food is fiery hot, its dance halls even hotter, and its ability to tickle the visitor (with fascinating historic sights, scenic riverside strolls, top-notch museums and cultural festivals) has made it a red-hot force in the tourism industry, Texas’ most popular city, drawing 7 million visitors each year. With the largest Hispanic population of any major city in the US, it also can feel like a trip across the border, the moment you cross the invisible borders within the city itself that divide the touristy areas from the more authentic neighborhoods where residents live, eat, and dance until the wee hours of the morning. One day isn’t enough to see it all, but with the itinerary below, you’ll sure have fun trying.
