McAllen, TX

A Historic City in South Texas

Located in the Rio Grande Valley, McAllen is the largest city in Hidalgo County and is growing into a major center of activity in South Texas. McAllen has all the elements of a metropolitan lifestyle with a flavor of simple, rural, Texas living.

As an influx of people comes into the area, the progressive arts and entertainment district grows and allows McAllen to showcase its culturally diverse art as well as art from neighboring areas in South Texas.

Historic downtown McAllen will be home to the new Another Music Festival in March 2009. The streets of downtown McAllen are an intermingled area where old meets new. Here you’ll find an array of bars and flower shops – all walking distance from one another.

You can also check out the music scene at Cine El Rey, an old movie theater built in the 1940s turned concert hall. When you’re in the mood for something filling and satisfying that’ll make your taste buds explode with an array of flavors, stop in for a bite at an authentic Mexican café complete with fresh-basked pastries and more. Downtown McAllen is also one of the few places that allow you to enjoy street-bought tacos.

Still want more? Then catch a bus to anywhere in the country from downtown McAllen or take an adventure into beautiful Mexico.
