San Antonio has the friendly, welcoming atmosphere of a small
town despite being the seventh largest city in the United States.
Attractions such the Alamo, where Davy Crocket famously took his
last stand, and the restaurant-lined Riverwalk ensure that San
Antonio is one of the most popular destinations in the country,
drawing 26 million visitors per year. The city has a unique
combination of Spanish colonial plazas, downtown Germanic
architecture, and vibrant Tex-Mex culture. Its music scene combines
Mexican and Texan country and western strands, and its cuisine
reflects tortillas and T-bones in interesting combinations. San
Antonio's Fiesta week, in late April, recently celebrated its 50th
anniversary and now ranks as one the biggest community events in
the nation. The city is easily navigable on foot, particularly the
Riverwalk, which winds its way along the San Antonio River, past
cafes, restaurants, shaded groves and perfectly preserved colonial
buildings. The Riverwalk is the heart of this charming city,
linking its key attractions together and providing sanctuary from
the heat of summer.
