Our View
This is a huge area to try and cover in one holiday, but thankfully there are obvious,
well-travelled routes which almost seem created for the purpose of highlighting the best
of the region. There isn’t another state which shares the unique character of Texas. It
manages to laugh at its own stereotype, with cowboy boots, Stetsons and rodeos featuring
at every turn; but it is a way of life not a tourist attraction. The big cities are huge and
domineering; a welcome contrast to the slower pace elsewhere. In comparison, across the
border in New Mexico, it feels as though the world has stood still for centuries, but not in
a bad way. There’s a dominance of quaint; quaint historic churches and monuments, quaint
boutique hotels, quaint wildflower landscapes and quaint, warmly welcoming people.
