Thousands of people from around the world flock to San Antonio to see the historic Alamo — the famed site in the state’s effort to win its independence from Mexico.
Last month, the Alamo launched Spanish-language tours — the first time a guided tour of the Alamo’s history is being offered on a regular basis entirely in Spanish.
Tom Castaños, the Alamo's director of interpretation, said the move was long overdue. “Some of these things [in the tour] they're not only morally a part of the story, but now that they're being heard in the traditional language, I think they mean more," he said. "I think they resonate more with certain members of the audience that have come to hear this story.”
Tourist Nuna and Hugo Aguilera agree. Nuna said the Alamo was their first stop in San Antonio while they visited from Los Angeles. “Hearing it in Spanish, for me, is more significant because I'm hearing it in my native language,” she said in Spanish. “It's like when we go to church — it means more to listen to it in Spanish than in English.”
