What to look for in Alamo
Qué Hay organizes events by the categories people here actually use.
That single institution puts Alamo on the itinerary of visitors who have flown in from other countries. It also has a growing base of RV parks serving the Winter Texan season.
Alamo is minutes from San Juan, Donna and Pharr and is the quieter of the four, which is part of why the refuge works. The detail that could only be written from here: on a January Saturday, the refuge parking lot fills with rental cars and out-of-state plates while the pulga a few minutes away fills with trocas — two completely different crowds, the same morning, the same town, and neither one on the same website.
