San Antonio
San Antonio, site of the storied Battle of the Alamo, was colonized by the Spanish in the eighteenth century and has embraced a fiery fighting spirit ever since. However, the relative peace of the twentieth century allowed this ardent metropolis to develop its gentler side: now home to the justly renowned River Walk, the glittering Majestic Theater, the highly regarded San Antonio Symphony, folkloric and classical ballet companies, and a flourishing wine region, San Antonio welcomes classical music fans, history buffs, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. After relishing the creations of one of San Antonio’s many marvelous chefs, consider ambling down the River Walk to take in a first-class concert at noteworthy Lila Cockrell Theater.
