The Rio Grande Valley,
also known as the RGV is located at the Southern most tip of
Texas. While driving through “The Valley” you notice a long
standing culture with some modern day influences. Sometimes
when you are in one of the less populated towns you get the
impression you might be back in the 60s or 70s. On the other
hand, when you drive down a main street in the thriving
metropolitan area of McAllen, Edinburg, and Mission you may
feel you are in a suburb outside of a large city. This part
of the country is a crossroads between American and Mexican
cultures. Don’t be fooled the Valley culture is not like any
other. The Culture is unique and independent.
The Valley is an idea place for winter
vacationers. Very rarely do temperatures ever drop below
freezing in the dead of winter. Natives start putting their
jackets on when the temperature drops below 70. Every year a
large group of “Winter Texans” come to get away from the
cold weather. It’s a great place to get the tropical feel
without having to leave the United States. You can get the
whole packaged deal; warm weather, beaches, palm trees, and
low cost of living.
For the younger crowd, Spring Break on
South Padre Island is always a big hit. Thousands of college
students flock to the island every spring and party it up
before heading back to school. South Padre Island has been
featured on everything from The Travel Channel to Girls Gone
Wild.
