SAN ANTONIO, Texas — We walk to the Alamo on a beautiful not-yet-hot Texas morning. AMERICAN FOLK HEROThe American folk hero is the best known of the Alamo defenders, and at age 49, was one of the oldest. The Alamo is the most visited historical site in Texas and in July 2015 gained UNESCO World Heritage Site status, along with four other missions, all situated along a stretch of the San Antonio River. Together, the five churches (Mission San Antonio de Valero or The Alamo, Mission San Jose, Mission Concepcion, Mission San Juan and Mission Espada) represent the largest concentration of Spanish colonial missions in North America. — Starting in May, Air Canada will be offering direct flights from Toronto to San Antonio.
