La Villita Historic Arts Village (San Antonio)

La Villita Historic Arts Village was originally created to house Alamo soldiers (it is a short walk from The Alamo).  Today, La Villita is a nationally registered collection of artisan shops and galleries located near the River Walk. Many of La Villita’s shops occupy beautiful 19th-century buildings, so it’s a pretty place just to walk around.  There are all kinds of cool shops selling handmade jewelry, sculptures, Southwest art and books on La Villita’s history.



 
I love these buildings!

Guadalupe is very popular in San Antonio.
