Colonial relics
In their mission to colonize the vast area of Texas, the Spanish built many missions. Today, many of these magnificent stone buildings are well-preserved, and house small museums containing historical objects and maps. You can complete a circuit of 4 missions accessible by car, the most important being those of Concepcion and San Jose. After that, head to San Antonio, the beautiful city where you can visit the Alamo.
