This was the last one on the mission trail. It is much different than the other missions regarding design and layout. The interior and decorations are not ornate as the other, but sometimes simple can be more elegant.

It was very nice and beautiful! Make sure you also visit the visitor center and walk around the area.

Quiet and peaceful. The chapel in the late afternoon sun was just beautiful. Tucked into a sleepy residential neighborhood, it's a hid dent treasure.

I am spanish and I have to say that the History and legends in signs are really respectfull. The place is really well maintained and peacefull. I felt big emotion when walking along the mission.

This Mission differs from the other 5 in San Antonio as it is where you will find peace and quiet from the crowds. It is the furthest south of the city, and I believe it is the smallest chapel. If people are visiting them from the Alamo down, they may tire and quit before they ever get to this one.... More

We drove the loop of the San Antonio missions & enjoyed it very much. The missions are a part of history - even though coming from the west coast, I was not aware of the missions beyond the Alamo. Worth the short drive from downtown.

Mission Espada is the furthest Mission from downtown and is tucked away in a quiet San Antonio neighborhood. The church is still operating and while we were visiting a huge hummer limo pulled up with a wedding party inside. What a lovely place for a small wedding.

This may be my favorite mission. it's the furthest one out and but to me, it feels more like what it must have been like when the missions were active. Beautiful area and great architecture. Don't miss it just because it's not close in.

This is a little basic Mission & is slowly being restored. Francescan Fathers residence on property. Still holds Masses & public is always welcome just respect the Mass & don't take photos during it. Delightful!
