The River Walk in San Antonio, USA

*WS 72: The River Walk in San Antonio, USA*

San Antonio is a mid size city in central south Texas established by the Spaniards. One major tourist attraction in San Antonio is the River Walk, a network of walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River. The paved walkway is lined with restaurants, shops, parks etc. The initial 4 km of the walkway was completed in 1946, as part of a drainage project. Since then the walkways have extended to over 20 km. An open barge cruise along the waterways is a parallel activity of the walk. 

We were here in 2019, walked around for an hour and had lunch at the Casa Rio Mexican Restaurant, the first restaurant opened along the River Walk in 1946. We took the river cruise too, taking about 35-40 minutes.
