San Antonio is a fast-growing city located in the southwest corner of the Texas Triangle. In addition to the alluring year-round warm weather, San Antonio offers a blend of rich history with contemporary attractions and cuisine.
If there's one thing to remember from your trip to San Antonio, it’s the Alamo! This 18th century fortress is one of five Spanish missions in the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, all of which are connected by a scenic hiking and biking trail. If history isn't your thing, the River Walk along the San Antonio River is a much livelier spot. This shaded path is lined with shops and restaurants, and you could spend an entire day strolling, shopping, and eating along the river. Don't sleep on the riverside bars, either – San Antonio is one of the cheapest drinking cities in the U.S. so you can bar-hop to your heart’s (and your wallet’s) delight.
Traveling with little ones? San Antonio is home to the San Antonio Zoo, SeaWorld, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas, any one of which will provide a thrilling adventure with no screen time required. Visitors of all ages will find treasures at Historic Market Square, the largest Mexican market in the U.S., where handcrafted art from local artisans is available alongside authentic Mexican food.
San Antonio is one of the biggest cities in the Lone Star State, so it is very easy to travel to other Texas destinations like Austin, Houston, and Dallas by bus or by train, or to destinations farther afield through the San Antonio International Airport.
Guadalajara
Authentically Mexican and bustling with cultural activities, Guadalajara offers a more culturally vivid travel experience compared to the busy Mexico City. Guadalajara is blessed with towering architectural marvels, the most notable of which is the Guadalajara Cathedral that features awe-inspiring Gothic architecture and enormous stained-glass windows. Another great one to check out is the Rotonda de Los Jaliscienses Ilustres, featuring 17 Doric columns dedicated to the city’s favorite authors and revolutionaries. For those who simply want to wander about, Parque Agua Azul offers a great respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
One of the city’s beloved specialties is the torta ahogada, which is a pork sandwich drowned in broth. If you wish to try some of the best tacos in town, head over to the San Juan de Dios Market.
The city’s rapid transit line, SITEUR, provides intracity and intercity transit services. The main airport of the city is the Guadalajara International, 10 miles south of downtown.
