Park that houses four of the six original missions that were built on the outskirts of San Antonio

To the south of the city are four Spanish missions, dating from the colonization period. The park is home to four of the six original missions that were built on the outskirts of San Antonio. Once again, visitors are given the opportunity to delve into the city's past, and thus directly into that of Texas. The missions can be visited with a guide, who explains the techniques used for the construction of the missions and the installation of the irrigation system, which was very efficient for the time. We recommend starting the tour at Mission San Jose, where the visitor center is located and provides a map and historical explanations. The route is marked with signs. From the Alamo, considered the fifth mission in San Antonio, head south on South Mary's Street. Mission Concepcion is the first on the route, followed by San Jose, then San Juan and Espada. All of the missions are now designated as a national park. The extension of the Riverwalk, named Mission Reach, allows you to reach the missions on foot by following the river from Downtown. 8 miles of bike paths and trails await you to retrace the historic route of the Spanish missions. It is also possible to participate in the religious masses held in the missions, with different schedules. Visit the gift shop to pick up some nice souvenirs to bring back from your stay!

Fort Alamo est directement au centre de San Antonio, proche de River Walk, mais il ne reste pas grand chose. Pour voir les autres missions, on peut les rejoindre facilement en voiture, en vélo ou prendre le bus qui nous dépose devant chaque mission. Un bain dans l'histoire sanglante du Texas.

une balade très intéressante que nous avons fait en vélo (les vélib de San Antonio très facile à utiliser) en suivant la rivière avec un petit détour par King William. un vrai plaisir pour les yeux. On peut récupérer une carte à l'office du tourisme en face d'Alamo.
