A city historical jewel right near the Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio. Easy to walk through and see some of the historical culture of SA while down on the Riverwalk.

We were volunteers for NIOSA on Thursday, 4/25. There was plenty of construction in the downtown area to snarl traffic.Finding a place to park at a decent price, less than $30, takes patience, or you just bite the carrot and pay the $35 to park within 1/2 mile.La Villita, NIOSA, was busy and booming with people. The crowd, albeit wall to wall in some places, was at least considerate and apologetic - at least when I was bumped into or I bumped into someone.I liked the fact that there were also plenty of our local police on hand to handle any concerns that surfaced.We arrived and left without incident. We had a good time when not volunteering and really enjoyed seeing others have a good time.I am looking forward to next year's event.

Located on the southern bank of the famed San Antonio River Walk, La Villita now occupies one artsy square block in the heart of downtown San Antonio. The Artisan village is listed on the U.S. government's National Register of Historic Places, featuring architectural styles that range from adobe structures, to early Victorian and Texas vernacular limestone buildings. Today, La Villita is a treasured Artisan and Entrepreneur district with over 25 shops and galleries that showcase local handmade goods and home to over 200 events a year.

It gives you a different perspective on how wealthy Spanish families used to live. Also, faith was a vital part of their daily lives as they display the cross in every room.

I went for a walk in La Villita during dia de los muertos when the city was hosting a Spiritlandia themed event. The decor was beautiful but I heard the parade was not planned well.

Nice area to stroll through. Not very big, but have some small shops and a few eateries. It also leads you to the River Walk to see the historic old theater. All the buildings are Hacienda-style which are very unique. Also, we were able find 5.00 all day parking during the weekday around La Villita areas. (The village has a entrance to the Riverwalk). 👍
