Seguin (pronounced Sa-GEEN) is a 35-minutes' drive from San Antonio with the historic Alamo and other attractions and one hour from Austin with its many live music venues. Mexico and the Gulf coast beaches are each three hours away. The area is vibrantly multi-cultural, especially in its Mexican influences, and retains much of its German immigrant heritage.
