Texas

Texas is one of those great travel surprises that turn out way beyond expectations. The state capital, Austin, has a motto: Keep Austin Weird. It’s quirky, it’s fun and the live music is exciting.

Head out into the Hill Country for pretty scenery, small character towns, wildflowers in spring and tubing on the rivers in summer. San Antonio beckons with the charming historical site of the Alamo close to the famous River Walk, with its cafes and restaurants. The Mexican food and atmosphere is terrific.

West Texas is remote and hauntingly beautiful, from the Guadalupe Mountains down to the Rio Grande on the Mexican border. Don’t miss a stay at Big Bend, the biggest and wildest of the national parks on the US mainland.

Perhaps the best surprise of all is the wonderful people that you will meet wherever you go in Texas. Give yourselves a treat with a holiday in Texas – you’ll never forget it!
