A travel guide to the best places to visit

PicaPica Plaza

PicaPica Plaza is quite an alternative shopping mall. What sets PicaPica Plaza apart is that it seems a bit like a festive version of an indoor flea market. Their main focus lies on speciality stores, eateries, entertainment and family friendly attractions. For luxury fashion shopping you might want to look elsewhere, but if you want to have a fun day with the kids, eat some Mexican food and bring home some holiday presents for your family, then PicaPica Plaza is a great place to check out.

PicaPica Plaza doesn’t feel as upscale as some of the other shopping markets, but has a more personal atmosphere. Despite that it’s not as well known, it’s certainly one of the hidden gems of shopping in San Antonio. Many niche shops can be found here, leading to an interesting mix of items that you can find. From plenty of shops with toys for the kids, to cosmetics and affordable fashion for yourself. And plenty of food stands where you can eat some unique treats, ice cream, mangonadas, caramelized nuts or fruits cups.

Especially if you have children, then this place can be quite worth a visit. After all, PicaPica Plaza is home to Flip’z Trampoline Park. So after you’re done shopping the kids can release their energy in a safe environment with trampolines, a foam pit, a dunk court and more. Which is a great way to end your day.
