| About
San Antonio TX |
The actual founding of the
city of San Antonio took place in 1718 by Father Antonio Olivares, upon establishing
Mission San Antonio de Valero.
The city was named for the Portuguese saint Anthony of Padua, whose feast day
it was when a Spanish expedition stopped in the area in 1691.
The Mission San Antonio de Valero became permanently etched in the annals of history
in 1836 as The Alamo where 189 defenders held the old mission against some 4,000
Mexican troops for 13 days.
Today, San Antonio captures the spirit of Texas.
Now the eighth largest city in the United States, the city has retained its sense
of history and tradition, while carefully blending in cosmopolitan progress.
Amidst the daily hubbub of the busy metropolitan downtown, sequestered 20 feet
below street level, lies one of San Antonio's jewels - the Paseo del Rio.
Better known as the "River Walk," these cobblestone and flagstone paths
border both sides of the San Antonio River as it winds its way through the middle
of the business district. |
With over 300 days of sunshine
annually and an average temperature of 68.8 degrees Fahrenheit, visitors to San
Antonio will find an abundance of outdoor sports and recreation to challenge them.
The first public golf course in Texas was built in San Antonio in 1916, and the
city has been busy hosting golfers since then.
Rivers in the Texas Hill Country, which forms an arc around the northern edge
of San Antonio, provide venues for canoeing, tubing and white-water rafting.
