Why San Antonio ?
With a population of almost 1,300,000 inhabitants, San Antonio is the Texas' second most populous city and the seventh most populous US city.
San Antonio takes its name from the famous Portuguese Saint, Anthony of Padua, whose feast day it was (June 13) when a Spanish expedition stopped in the area in 1691.
Giving hospitality to Randolph Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, and Brooks City-Base, with Camp
Bullis and Camp Stanley right outside the city, San Antonio is a city with strong military presence.
Moreover,we have to notice that South Texas Medical Center, the largest and only medical research and care provider in the South Texas region, is based right here, in San Antonio.
San Antonio's reputation of being an excellent shopping destination always attracts a lot of visitors, who, off course, do come here to see San Antonio's attractions too, as
the River Walk, the Alamo, Tejano culture,the Marion Koogler
McNay Art Museum (the first museum of modern art in Texas) and SeaWorld and Six Flags Fiesta Texas theme parks.
So it's easy to understand why every year up to 20 million tourists do come and visit San Antonio!
