Jessie on a Journey
An outdoor marketplace or festival square filled with vibrant colors and lively activity. Strings of multicolored flags and banners stretch overhead, creating a festive canopy. Rows of stalls and vendor booths line the walkways, selling a variety of goods, foods, and artwork. Potted palm trees and other greenery add a touch of nature to the bustling scene. In the background, buildings with colonial-style architecture can be seen, suggesting a historic district or plaza. People stroll through the market, browsing the wares and enjoying the lively atmosphere.

Vibrant Outdoor Market in Historic San Antonio

I actually didn’t visit Historic Market Square on purpose. I was checking out the small but lovely Milam Park — as well as the adjacent colorful and al fresco art adorned San Antonio Children’s Hospital — when I heard the sounds of Marc Anthony and Enrique Iglesias blasting nearby. I followed the upbeat music and came upon a square dating back to the 1820s, which locals dub “El Mercado,” full of vendor stalls, indoor shops and patio-equipped Latin eateries sitting underneath colorful strings of flags. What's your favorite attraction in San Antonio?
