But if you’re in the mood for something a little more active, the trails at Las Trampas Regional Wilderness are seriously worth it. You’ll get stunning views and solid hiking without going too far from town.

On Sunday mornings, the Alamo Farmers’ Market is where it’s at: Local produce, fresh bread, flowers, and usually some live music or food trucks. It’s small, but it gives you that cool community vibe.The farmers’ market is full of local vendors and makes a great Sunday stop.
