Harlingen, TX

Answer 1

Deep in the southern part of Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, lies Harlingen, a city known for it’s exquisite bird watching. Equally known is the historic district with its picturesque homes, rich cultural experiences, and diverse places.

Enjoy glimpsing Harlingen’s official bird, the Great Kiskadee, at the Hugh Ramsey Nature Park or the Harlingen Lake and Auditorium. In honor of the spring and fall migrations of these wonderful creatures, Harlingen holds an annual birding festival. All you have to do is bring your binoculars!

Take a stroll down into the historic district to relish in the magnificent architecture of the homes on Taylor and Jackson street or cross over the railroad tracks to the infamously named Six Shooter Junction. Take in the cultural artistry and visual history of Harlingen through its hand painted murals that grace many of its buildings.

Harlingen, a place to enjoy nature’s beauty and man’s creations.
