The study had a lot to say about the City of Mission: “The city is a paradise for nature lovers, offering attractions such as the National Butterfly Center and the nearby World Birding Center, a network of spectacular birdwatching sites located in the Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park. “With its Goldilocks size, not too big or too small,Mission offers a citylike environment in addition to great access to the outdoors. The charming downtown area is bustling with shops, cafes, and restaurants; while its charming and quaint architecture gives visitors a connection with the city’s history and cultural heritage.” Out of the top ten cheapest Winter Texan cities in Texas, seven of them are in the Rio Grande Valley. Others listed are Mercedes, Weslaco, Harlingen, Brownsville, Edinburg, and McAllen. So, if you are budget conscious, the Rio Grande Valley has many options for you. The weather is just as pleasant throughout the entire Rio Grande Valley as it is in Mission. Overall, the StorageCafe article says, Winter Texans choose south Texas because it is an affordable option that offers beautiful weather, great food, and opportunities for golf, birdwatching, fishing and so much more.
