Region: Hill Country
"The Little Alsace of Texas," rich in European appearance and traditions, was founded in 1844 by Henri Castro, an impresario of the Texas Republic who brought a group of settlers, mostly from the Alsatian region. Just 20 miles west of San Antonio, this quaint Texas village lets past and present intermingle within a curve of the Medina River. Take a walking tour to view commercial and residential buildings, many that are examples of German-style country cottages, whose roofs are unequally pitched (usually on the back side) in a manner similar to the lean-to design. More than 60 buildings and houses are registered as historic.
Castroville Regional Park on the Medina includes camping with hookups (fee).
