Tips from locals
Encompassing the most important surviving Spanish mission stations in Texas, the Mission Trail starts in El Paso and is one of the best ways for tourists to explore the state's rich multicultural heritage. A highlight is the Ysleta Mission, consecrated in 1682 and now the oldest such structure in Texas. Others you'll see along the way are the Socorro Mission, first built in 1691, and San Elizario with its Spanish garrison church from 1789. Many other authentic cultural highlights surround the missions, including local eateries, art galleries, and institutions like the Tigua Indian Cultural Center.

This Is a collection of 3 Historic Spanish Mission Churches. My favorite is San Elizario Mission, has a very nice quiet plaza with places to shop around the mission for Art and one of the county first jails, the jail has become famous for being the ONLY time that the infamous Billy the Kid broke into a jail. Legend says Billy the Kid traveled from Las Cruces into San Elizario after learning that his friend, Melquiades Segura has been arrested in San Elizario.
