Spring break is only one week away. While many students are flying to tropical destinations like Cabo and Miami, if you want a last-minute destination Marfa, Texas is a hidden gem. While the west-Texas town has fewer than 2,000 citizens, there are many exciting things to do and stops to see.
Where to stay:
El Cosmico is the definition of glamping. It has a very authentic West-Texas vibe and you can choose from a list of many unique ways to spend your night. Southwest-styled teepees, safari tents, and trailers are all options for your peaceful night in the desert landscape.
