Located about 300 miles south of Houston, San Antonio retains its downtown one of the unavoidable for any traveler. The building Alamo, commemorating the battle of the same name, remember that since the nineteenth century (1836) struggled Texans separated from Mexico when he dreamed yet to join the United States.
From Alamo in the historic center of the city, an ideal touring nearby (San Fernando Cathedral and "Little Village" and "The Market") until he ran into Riverwalk, an active commercial area that extends along the banks of the river San Antonio. Among the Alamo and St. Mary streets, abundant culinary offerings, could be good Mexican tacos Aldaco's (100 Hoefgen Street), something "gourmet" as leg of lamb with herbs and chutney Boudro's ( included among the top 50 U.S. subtracted from all according to Esquire magazine) or the understated elegance of the Lion & Rose British Pub, with four branches throughout the city.
