10 Beautiful Historic Churches In San Antonio
One of Texas’s oldest cities, San Antonio is home to almost 300 years of art, architecture, and culture. The eclectic mix of immigrant groups that settled the area have poured their talents into shaping and decorating their houses of worship, making San Antonio’s historic churches among the best starting points for learning about the city’s rich and varied culture and history.
Mission Espada
San Francisco de la Espada marks the southern endpoint of the eight-mile Mission Reach bike trail, which is the ideal way to see each of San Antonio’s missions, now UNESCO World Heritage sites. This, the smallest of the missions, is located in a quiet, semi-rural neighborhood, which provides a tranquil halfway stop for cyclists. To get a fuller picture of how these settlements operated during Spanish Colonial days, cyclists are also encouraged to take a quick detour from the trail to see the old Espada Acequia, a Roman-style aqueduct that once provided water to the mission.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.
Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day.
