Local sights and sounds: The local tourist site has full details of San Antonio's many attractions. If you can get there before tournament week, the previous weekend has festivities and celebrations marking Mexico's independence from Spain. San Antonio also has a Sea World and those with a historical bent will want to visit the Alamo.
