San Antonio OVERVIEW
Welcome to Texas and a city as hot as its classic Chili con carne. Food, history and art are so intertwined in San Antonio that you can hardly try one without naturally stumbling upon the other two. Touch the city's rich historical fabric that has been meticulously woven ever since it was a wild west frontier town, and embroidered with numerous ethnic influences, step in the city's museums to discover anything from Native American decorative arts to Picasso, and have a fiesta of a lifetime come courtesy of a restaurant scene that few can rival.
Sure it's packed with people and oftentimes bordering on kitsch, but once you get drawn into the collective clutter of the tree-flanked Riverwalk, get lost in the meandering streets of its artistic quarters, or hear the echo of the 1836 massacre reverberating off the Alamo walls, you'll tend to say San Antonio is a sizzling authentic Tex-Mex hub rather than a tourist rip-off in disguise.
