THROWBACK EPISODE - This episode originally aired on PBS on November 30, 2011. Some of the locations may have changed. Check thedaytripper.com for the most up-to-date information.
We all “Remember the Alamo” but so few “Remember Goliad,” a town that was just as important in securing a Texan victory during the Texas Revolution. Check out why it’s worth remembering
The major historical sites in Goliad make this town worth remembering and visiting. Start at Presidio La Bahia, a Spanish fort that became the location of the Goliad Massacre when Colonel Fannin and 341 other Texian men were executed within and surrounding the fort’s walls.
While in the area, check out the Goliad Area Historic Sites. You’ll find Zaragoza House which was the birthplace of the Mexican hero of Cinco de Mayo, General Ignacio Seguin Zaragoza, Mission Espiritu Santo residing just down the road inside of Goliad State Park where you’ll learn why Goliad is considered the “Birthplace of Texas Ranching” and so much more!
To explore the great outdoors surrounding Goliad, take a trip down the Goliad Paddling Trail, a 6.6 mile stretch of the San Antonio River starting underneath Highway 59 and finishing up at Goliad State Park. You’ll find one of the best rope swings in Texas underneath the iron railroad bridge.
This is one well-rounded State Park. Not only can you hike, fish or camp, but you’ll also find tons of historic structures. It’s also a take-out point for the Goliad Paddling Trail.
When you get hungry, I highly recommend stopping by Blue Quail Deli for a sandwich on homemade bread and a cup of their famous and award-winning Cream of Jalapeno Soup. It’s both spicy and comforting!
Sadly, the Empresario has permanently closed since this episode aired.
For traditional and tasty Tex-Mex, dine at La Bahia Restaurant and Cantina just beyond the Presidio La Bahia. You can get cheesy enchiladas and delicious chili con carne.

This is my hometown since 1968 and my family’s home since 1857!

My grandparents lived there while we were kids in the 70s and 80s. Love it so much!! We would go to town (the courthouse square)everyday when we there. There was Bill’s Dollar General store and a tiny full grocery store in the square buildings. It was so quaint, just like Mayberry. Grandpa knew and visited with everyone we saw, even strangers. 😊. We would visit the mission and the fort, such wonderful history and memories!!! There was even an operating blacksmith shop we would visit. Keep up the videos.

As someone who was raised and went to school in Goliad and now retired here i have eaten at the Blue Quail exactly once. The place is pricey and the soup is just barely ok. The tourist like it.

@hellhound1389

I'd be the person that WOULDN'T order the soup. I find soups completely disgusting. That comes from my childhood because soup was one of the few things my mother could cook so I won't touch soups, sloppy joes, and casseroles

Hi Chet, I'm interested in finding out where you learned to speak Spanish so perfectly. Lo hablas muy bien. Gracias.

This must be an older one as Bum passed in 2013. But loved this as Goliad was the first day trip I took from Houston just to check out La Bahia. Totally worth the trip

@MrJuandiego1988

Bum died 10 years ago.

Highest gas prices than any where else

@timgross8952

You showed us the flags that flew over Goliad but I didn't see the Confederacy.

@jamesh1641

Love the Mission.
