    Sometimes you do not truly appreciate something until its gone even it is temporary. Growing up in…read moreSan Antonio, TX I took the Historic Market Square (sometimes referred to as the largest Mexican market in the US) for granite. I thought it was perfectly natural to be immersed in a deeply cultural experience. It was commonplace to experience authentic mariachi's singing in the courtyard or inside the buildings within the Market Square. The mariachi "greto" is so distinctive - a loud, emotion yell that is used to convey joy and passion. Also, to watch the folklórico dancers perform was just beauty incarnate. During the holidays choirs sang both in English and Spanish. My heart melts just thinking about all these wonderful experiences over the years. Historic Market Square captures the essence of San Antonio. One key element of the Market Square is the food and beverages...authentic Mexican food and beverages. Churros are staple in many Latin cultures but certainly in San Antonio. There are two key restaurants within the Historic Market Square that are extremely authentic - La Margarita and Mi Tierra's. When eating at these restaurants you feel like you are in a totally immersive experience from the homemade tortillas to pan dulce. Also, let us not forget about every permutation of margaritas. My heart skips a beat when I think about Historic Market Square. So, totally happy I had chance to return home.

We came looking for a specific Mexican vanilla and found many but not one looking for although found some other cute bags designed with the River Walk motif. Prices are reasonable for this area and on a Friday am in the rain it was not crowded. Parking downtown is challenging and some local restaurants allow you to stay for a few hours.

    It's easy to see why this is one of the most visited cave sites for tourism worldwide and the…read moremost-visited in Texas. It's a very well-developed cave to visit. By "developed", I mean that lighting and a path has been installed to make traversing it A LOT easier than when it was discovered. By "path", I mean smooth, textured, non-slip, paved sidewalks from one end of the tour to the other--complete with stainless steel handrails along almost every step of it. The effort it took to make a cave system this accessible is beyond commendable. At one end of one of the tours there is a long uphill slope to get out of the cavern, but you don't have to walk--they have a roller/conveyor belt that you stand on and ride to the top. The erosion-carved rocky "rooms" of the cave system defy description. They are up to 100 feet tall, 100 feet wide, and over 200 feet long, and are filled with otherworldly mineral formations that have been actively "growing" for millions of years. Photos don't do this justice. When you see it in person, it's just breathtaking. Adult-only tours would be an occasional welcome option, as a less-than-silent baby/toddler ruins the silence that the below-ground space allows. Parking is abundant, but it is not free. Even out in the spacious Texas Hill Country they decided that $10 per car was appropriate. I hate paying to park (anywhere), and in a rural setting like this, it just feels like such a shameless money-grab! I wish they'd just charge more for the tours and let us feel like parking is "free". More intensive, deeper tours for small groups that require higher effort into undeveloped parts of the caverns are offered on a limited basis. This sounds like something worth returning for.

    Don't buy online through third party platforms because you can't just catch an earlier time. There…read moreare plenty of discounts at hotels and restaurants because of marketing this place is well advertised. They have maze, mining (bagged dirt that are pre-stocked with gems), and a towers course all for extra money. Lots of people when we went. Parking is $10 anywhere you park. There are spots closer up because people coming and going all the time. You can pay online or via text or at pay station. Reception sucks though. We paid but I think they don't enforce or tow because I didn't see anyone checking. It looks like a pure money grab to me, which is infuriating as the parking lot is in the middle of nowhere! Would suggest buying each attraction ala cart because of the unknown wait times. Our natural bridge tour guide was horrible in terms of guiding us and providing information. YMMV is my guess. But whatever. The tour does have a couple of parts where you gotta walk up long ramps. No moving sidewalks like I saw in one pic. I wouldn't go back. And I'm not even sure I could recommend this place unless you're struggling to find something to do.
