The most famous site in San Antonio is by far The Alamo, where in 1836 the small adobe church was the scene of one of the most famous battles in US history.

Today you can walk the ruins, and stroll the grounds and rooms of these historic grounds, and feel the presence of these heroes’. One can almost hear the battle, the cannon fire and Mexican bugles. After viewing the Alamo, take a walk nearby to the historic village of Alamo to La Villita, for some shopping and lunch.Stroll the famous San Antonio Riverwalk, with its exciting shops, restaurants, galleries and museums.
