San Antonio is a crossroads of geography, geology, fauna, civilisations and cultures...as a creative city of gastronomy, San Antonio envisages the preservation of cooking techniques, foods, and recipes handed down from generation to generation; developing a series of culinary trails connecting the city’s historic and cultural assets.
