San Antonio's venerable El Mercado, once home to a bustling produce market, now houses colorful street vendors, roaming mariachis, and food stalls that serve up the real deal. Just-picked fruits and veggies are still available at the farmer's market across the street, but the Square's focus these days is on preserving the city's Mexican heritage and spirit. Leather and papier-mâché goods, blankets, and pottery are just a sample of the specialties. Don't miss the delectable pan dulce at open-24-hours Mi Tierra Bakery.

210-225-0000 | | | | | Description: RIVER WALK. "Excuse me, boat driver, but do you stop at Victoria's Secret?" Improbable as it sounds, you might find yourself saying just that if you make a trip to Rivercenter Mall, surely one of the few malls you can sail through literally. Ferries cruise waterways around the center (it's an extension of the River Walk), and the mall harbors 130 shops that range from the ho-hum to the high-end. Make Tony Roma's or Morton's Steakhouse a port-of-call when your stomach growls. The Rivercenter Lagoon, IMAX theater, and 9-screen movieplex are definitely worth the cruise.
