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?
