The glitter and glamour of the large city is blended with almost 300 years of history, creating a unique atmosphere. The San Antonio river walk is a walk alongside the beautiful San Antonio river, which is surrounded by quaint cafes and is beautifully landscaped. The walk will be lighted up for Christmas. La Villita, San Antonio's original settlement and El Mercado, the Mexican maket, are situated nearby. So is the Alamo, where a small band of Texans were besieged by Santa Anna's huge army in 1836. Sea World, the world's largest marine life theme park, featuring Shamu, the killer whale, is also a must see in San Antonio Fiesta Texas is a park located beneath 100-foot cliffs and a waterfall and features rides, restaurants, shops and special events in four themed areas: Hispanic, German, Texas 20's Boomtown and 50's Rock 'n' Roll. The Mission Trail is America's most complete Spanish Colonial mission complex. Attending the Mariachi Mass on Sunday at Mission San Jose is a unique experience.Hemisfair park, the Rivercenter Mall, the Institute of Texan Cultures, the McNay Art Museum, the Witte museum, Brackenridge Park, and the San Antonio Zoo are other attractions of this great city, to name a few.
