San Antonio

With an unusual combination of German and Hispanic heritage, San Antonio is a delightfully cosmopolitan city in the south of Texas, just over the border from Mexico. Famous for being home to the 19th Century battle of the Alamo, San Antonio has iconic appeal. The modern day city is attractively laid-back, with its delightful Riverwalk offers visitors the chance to relax and discover fantastic alfresco dining with Latin flair. Why not sample delicious Mexican food to the soundtrack of a mariachi band whilst unhurriedly taking in your surroundings?
