San Antonio Travel and Leisure Guide 2008 - (Page 12) What’s New Coming Attractions Visiting the Alamo and other 18th century Spanish missions is like stepping into San Antonio’s colorful past, complete with larger-than-life heroes and robed Franciscan padres. Yet this vibrant city is always growing, and its newest attractions can be every bit as captivating as its historical ones. Check out these pages and visitsanantonio.com for the latest sights, activities and events. A ride along the River Walk. EXPLORE EVEN MORE ON THE RIVER WALK Dining outdoors under towering cypress trees, exploring artsy boutiques, listening to live music ranging from mariachis to jazz and country – these are just a few pieces of the tapestry of pleasures that make San Antonio’s River Walk one of Texas’ most-visited attractions. Soon you will be able to wander even farther on its winding pathways as a $216 million expansion project turns the Paseo del Rio (its Spanish name) into the nation’s largest linear park. Lengthening the River Walk from two to 13 miles, the planned extension will link up with museums, the historic Pearl Brewery and Brackenridge Park north of town by mid-2009, and to the four Spanish colonial missions south of downtown by 2014.
