COMMUNITY AND
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
The Spanish-Mexican culture
of the Zapata County is very influential, as this land was, for over 300 years, dominated by
the Spanish, and the Mexicans, or descendants of these two groups of people.
The language, religion, and social traditions are all passed down from
generation to generation.
With its traditional roots
and contemporary lifestyle, Zapata County has something for everyone. From the Zapata County Fair to the award
winning Zapata High School Mariachi Halcon performances; from Falcon
Lake-with some of the best Bass fishing in the state of Texas, to the Colonel
Antonio Zapata Museum. From exceptional hunting, to Julys World Hang-Gliding
Encampment (which brings hang-gliding enthusiasts from around the world and
where many world hang-gliding records have been set); from wonderful
restaurants featuring local cuisine, to the village of San Ygnacio, where at
times, it seems that you have stepped back one-hundred years, Zapata County has
lots to offer.
