The «Queen of Tejano» Selena’s Lasting Impact on the Alamo City
The Queen of Tejano – singer Selena Quintanilla – spent a lot of time in San Antonio before her tragic death in 1995. Indeed, the Alamo City was like a second home to her – she even had a boutique in town. If you are a fan of the 1997 biopic Selena, starring Jennifer Lopez, you can revisit spots where several key scenes were shot. Follow in Selena’s footsteps as you note some of the city’s tributes to her.
