Destination of the Day
Texas Hill Country
Come spring, the Texas Hill Country bursts alive with brightly colored bluebonnets in an impressive display of azure. Many of the best places to view the wildflowers are on the small country roads around Kerrville. Near Fredericksburg is the most heavily traveled wildflower drive in the state: the Willow City Loop. Known for its mind-blowing variety of colors, the route promises pops of yellow, red, purple, and blue. In between scenic drives and a trip to Wildseed Farms, the largest working wildflower farm in the U.S, take time to explore the other sites and attractions the region has to offer.
Dive Into a Swimming Hole
As every good Texan knows, finding the perfect Hill Country swimming hole is akin to an Olympic sport. Everyone has their personal favorite place to cool off—some are well-advertised and attract heat-weary swimmers like moths to a flame, while others still remain hidden from view. Whatever type of aquatic experience you're craving, you're bound to find it on this list.
Explore Austin
The largest city in the Texas Hill Country region, Austin is also the capital of Texas. Live music is often the main attraction for many visitors, but there is so much more. There are more than 20,000 acres of parkland in Austin, with natural treasures like Barton Springs and Lady Bird Lake in the heart of the city. And food? Whether you're looking for breakfast tacos or farm-to-table fare, you won't leave this town hungry.
Hike Through Enchanted Rock State Park
Rising 425 feet above the ground (1,825 feet above sea level), Enchanted Rock is one of the largest natural rock formations in the nation. Hiking is hands down the most popular recreational activity at this Texas state park, but camping, bird watching, and rock climbing are also available.
The perfect distance for a day trip from Madrid, Toledo is a destination that is as picturesque as it is historic—and the whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sitting on a bend in the Tagus River, the "City of Three Cultures" was influenced by each of the three major world religions. The winding streets of the old Jewish Quarter, the awe-inspiring Catedral de Toledo, and Spain's most impressive mosque outside of Cordoba help make this fascinating city one of a kind.
