San Antonio de Bejar, Tejas

by basstbn - last update: Apr 10, 2004

Texas' Most Famous Building

The Alamo
San Antonio is a wonderful destination for travelers. Everyone knows about the Alamo, shown here. The dramatic story of the battle for this mission chapel has been the focal point for a number of movies.

However, there is a great deal more to see in this exciting and culturally diverse city. Our stay was brief (two days), so we did not come close to experiencing all that San Antonio had to offer.

The River Walk (Paseo del Rio)

The River Walk is San Antonio's most frequently visited destination, due to its popularity with locals, as well as visiting out-of-towners. The banks of the San Antonio River are lined with sub-tropical gardens, restaurants, nightclubs, and retail shops. People queue up for long waits to take the boat tour.

The Spanish Governor's Palace

This ten-room Spanish Governor's Mansion in San Antonio became the seat of Spanish colonial government in 1772. Walk through the restored rooms and relax in the peaceful courtyard.

Quiz time: what are the six flags that have flown over Texas?

Answer: Spain (1519-1685 and 1690-1821), France (1685-1690), Mexico (1821-1836), Republic of Texas (1836-1845), Confederate States of America (1861-1865), the USA (1845-1861 and 1865-present).

 We're planning a trip to San Antonio this year--I've heard so much about it, can't wait to visit! Thanks for the preview!

 The 1st time you saw the Alamo, weren't you amazed it's no longer out in the middle of nowhere? Disheartening really, makes it a bit harder to imagine this spot 168 years ago. When there weren't paved roads and that looming Marriott behind it...grrr...;-)
