San Antonio Attractions

 
San Antonio

San Antonio, a city of more than 1 million people, lies on the San Antonio River and the narrow San Pedro Creek, on the south-eastern edge of the Texan tableland. It is the centre of a prosperous agricultural area (livestock farming), with important industries (engineering, aircraft servicing for the U.S. Air Force, oil). San Antonio, originally a Spanish foundation, reflects more clearly than any other Texan city the influence of different cultures on the history of Texas. The western and southern districts in particular have a distinctly Mexican character, but there are traces of a once large German community.
