Among the noncombatant survivors of the siege and battle of the Alamo were two sisters, Juana Gertrudis Navarro Alsbury and Maria Gertrudis Navarro, daughters of José Ángel Navarro and Concepción Cervantes and nieces of José Antonio Navarro, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence.

Gertrudis, Juana, and Juana’s son Alejo Perez, subsequently entered into the Alamo under the protection of their brother-in-law, Jim Bowie.

In 1841, Gertrudis married José Miguel Felipe Cantú, with whom she had eight children. Gertrudis died in 1895 at age 78. Read more here: https://bit.ly/49rsHzt

The Paseo Del Alamo is the historic site’s connection to the famed San Antonio River Walk. The two sites are linked not just through tourism but through history, with Mission San Antonio de Valero (now known as the Alamo) built along the San Antonio River.

The Paseo was restored and reopened in July 2026, making it easier for guests to walk from the energy of the River Walk to the reverence of the Alamo grounds.

You can now visit the restored Paseo de Alamo during your visit to the Alamo!
