McAllen is the retail and commercial center of the Rio Grande Valley, a fast-growing region of citrus groves, farm towns and border cities that stretches along the river toward the coast. Cross-border trade with Reynosa and Monterrey, manufacturing tied to plants in Mexico, healthcare and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley drive a busy business calendar, and shoppers from Mexico have long made the city’s stores and malls a destination of their own.

The Valley sits a long way from the rest of Texas, a lengthy drive from San Antonio and longer still from Houston or Dallas, and airline trips often route through a hub. A private flight makes it practical to visit a plant on either side of the border, meet with a hospital system or close a real estate deal and be home the same night. Leisure travelers come for some of the best birding in North America, with refuges and World Birding Center sites hosting species found almost nowhere else in the country, plus mild winters and the beaches of South Padre Island to the east.

Things to do in McAllen

When to go. McAllen’s mild winters draw seasonal residents from the Midwest and Canada, and November through March is prime birding season, when migrants join the Valley’s resident specialties at the area’s refuges. Spring migration in April is another highlight. December brings the McAllen Holiday Parade, a major regional tradition. Summers are hot and humid, and hurricane season runs June through November, so keep plans flexible in those months.
