The Alamo is now offering guided tours of the historic site in Spanish.
Texas' most popular tourist attraction previously offered self-guided tours in English, Spanish, German, French and Chinese.
The first-ever Spanish language guided tour was held on Saturday as part of its Tejanos at the Alamo Day celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month.
It was conducted by a trained guide who spoke through visitor headsets. Officials say the tours will continue running five days a week — Wednesdays through Sundays at 10:15 a.m. — and are priced at $45 for adults and $35 dollars for children.
This effort is a part of a wider one to tell a more diverse perspective of the entire history of the mission-turned fortress — the site of the 1836 battle during the Texas Revolution against Mexico.
Groups representing Indigenous people, Mexican Americans and Black Americans have pushed for a more diverse history-telling from the state and the Alamo itself about the people and events before, during, and after the battle.
The Alamo is currently undergoing a massive $550 million expansion with the construction of a new visitor center and museum scheduled to open in 2027.
