San Antonio Riverwalk

We really don’t like cities. Between the traffic, the noise, the crowds,… But San Antonio has one endearing feature that we decided was worth a visit – the Riverwalk.

The Riverwalk is a 15 mile long urban stretch of restaurants, shops and neat walkways all about 1 level below the main streets. The Riverwalk apparently originated as a flood control project following a 1921 flood that killed several people. A diversion channel was built, shops opened along the channel and the rest was history.
