San Antonio is one of the oldest Spanish settlements in Texas and captures the spirit of the state’s history. It is home to The Alamo, the 18th-century mission where the famous battle for Texas independence occurred. The city’s heart is the River Walk (Paseo del Río), a network of walkways along the San Antonio River lined with shops and cafes, situated one story beneath the streets of downtown. With a heavy military presence and a majority Hispanic population, San Antonio is a cultural crossroads celebrating Tex-Mex cuisine, Fiesta celebrations, and colonial history.
