San Antonio captures the spirit of Texas. The tradition of Tejas can be found at the Alamo and the Spanish Missions along Mission Trail. The historic La Villita serves as a focal point for artisans, galleries and restaurants. The weather in September is typically dry with temperatures during the day in the high 80’s and lows in the mid 50’s encouraging outdoor activities.
