I like to call this The Camino de San Antonio. Like the Camino de Santiago, it was a wonderful walk. It is 12 miles long, and we decided to walk both ways. This was an all day hike. Others go by bicycle, which is half a day, while many visit the missions by car, missing the beautiful Missions Trail. This is a national treasure, and we will be back.
We enjoyed an afternoon of bike riding along the Mission Trail to see these four magnificent structure tires. San Antonio is much more than the Alamo and the Riverwalk. Each mission has its own unique charm. Be sure to see the aqueduct too.
The missions are easily accessible on the outskirts of the city. They are authentic and are still functioning churches. You'll get some great pictures. Visit them all. There are very good historical exhibits to explain the mission culture & technology. Give yourself about 2 hours to make the rounds. There are only 4 of them.
The staff was friendly and informative. The exhibits are interesting. The maps are very helpful. Expect some large crowds when busses of students and tourists arrive.
这些是一组漂亮的教堂/传道教会。因为我有一只狗,这里能带着宠物游览,这点很不错。我希望当时我知道那里有旅游团,那样的话我能了解更多东西,但是我们就是自由行,用我们已有的交通工具自己去了解。总之,这是个非常令人愉快的游览之地。
这里给我上了堂历史课,因为不在主要旅游景区,所以拍照也很容易。价格免费!可以租到自行车,能从一个地方沿着骑车散步道一直走到另一处。
我住在圣安东尼奥,经常到欧洲的游客来这个地方,每次看到他们的反应我就很激动。如果你有机会,一定要在周日的时候来听听墨西哥流浪乐队演奏,然后看当地人还要游客一起参与到庆典中。
These old missions are all unique and very beautiful. Even our teenagers enjoyed seeing them. It is a very easy drive by car, but may people were doing it on bikes. Definitely takes you through parts of San Antonio many tourists don't see. If you are into history, this is a must-do, cost free experience not to be missed.
公园的规模比我想象的要小。进公园之前一定要看一部电影短片,短片只有20分钟,但非常的棒。在历史公园里,你可以回顾那些按照历史记载精确制作出来的当时的阿拉莫的真实模型。通过这些模型,你可以了解到阿拉莫的人民在城市被占领之前都面对了什么!
We drove into the city from the south and were able to see 3 of the lovely missions there. They are all worth a visit and you can then, later, end up at the most commonly know one - the Alamo - which, in many ways is the least interesting. Don't miss this fascinating park.
