Tourists And San Antonio

Did you know that not all Cinco de Mayo events are created equal? Its true. The only genuine, and “true to the spirit” events are in border states. My personal favorite city, with the highest number and quality of Cinco de Mayo events is San Antonio. You will be blown away by both the number, and the quality of events that this city offer on May 5th.
Now, if you’re planning to visit San Antonio this year, try to make it coincide with May 5th as you are bound to witness what is almost a miracle of spectacles. The best event in the city is I think the one located at the city’s market square. The residents call it “El Mercado”. There, the food is all high-quality, genuine Mexican food that no sane person can possibly resist. And hey, its not just about food, all the music and performances are right there, as well as vendors for random purchases you might want to make.
Now, there’s more than that! The second event I would guide you to is in fact the one that’s located downtown, at a place known as Plaza Guadalupe. The best part about this event is that you can do it it together with an Alamo visit, since its just walking distance every. The feature of this particular one is the variety of family-friendly activities. Everything from dances to live music and all sorts of things to do. Its probably the most packed of the events.
If you’re of the more artsy persuasion, you will want to see the dance event held by the Ballet Folklorico de Cielo, which is held at the Memorial Library. This at San Antoni’s westside. This actual dancing organization is known all throughout Texas and a few of the neighboring states. Their events are spectacles that nobody can afford to miss.
I know I’m starting to bore you with praising San Antonio right now, but I really mean it. If you haven’t witnessed Cinco de Mayo inside of San Antonio, then you’ve really never witnessed a real Cinco de Mayo celebration. It is here that you can truly feel what the spirit of the holiday is, to the point you will remember and be moved by it, for years to come
Well Now what’s the next thing??? Well you need to book a San Antonio hotel of course right? Well that is true! Here is one that I found through a particular search: San Antonio hotel alamo
