21 days in San Antonio & Cocoa Itinerary

As the state’s second largest city, San Antonio embodies Texas’ rich cultural heritage while maintaining the Old West charm of an oil town.

Visit The Alamo and Mission San Juan for their historical value. Cottonwood Wine Tours and Mission Espada are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Change things up with these side-trips from San Antonio: Fredericksburg (Heath Sparkling Wines, Grape Creek Vineyards, &more), Dick's Classic Garage (in San Marcos) and Hye (Garrison Brothers Distillery & William Chris Vineyards). There's lots more to do: get a taste of the local shopping with The San Antonio River Walk, take in the history at Mission Concepcion, get a sense of history and politics at Texas State Capitol, and pause for some serene contemplation at San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral.
