DREAMSCAPES WINTER/SPRING 2020

A
t first glance, downtown San
Antonio is not radically dif-
ferent than other cities, but
another world awaits just steps below
street level. The River Walk—a 24-kilo-
metre network of walkways along the San
Antonio River—meanders through the
heart of the city and beyond. Shaded by
cypresses, oaks and willows, it's a lovely,
leafy urban oasis lined with restaurant
patios, bars, small shops, hotels and
stone bridges.
Quiet electric barges glide along the
waterway. It's worth climbing aboard for a
narrated tour to learn a little about the land-
marks and buildings along the river.
Knowledgeable guides also dispense inter-
esting tidbits. See goriocruises.com.
