Llano

Elevation : 1,029
Population : .3,357

Located 70 miles northwest of Austin on scenic Hwy. 71, Llano is a beautiful Hill Country town in the heart of farm and ranch country. The town was founded in 1855 along the spring-fed waters of the Llano River, and became the county seat in 1856.
Llano means “plain” in Spanish, but there is nothing ordinary about this picturesque town that calls itself the “Deer Capital of Texas” and is surrounded by the Highland Lakes. The entire downtown square is designated a National Historic District. The clear, spring-fed river and the rare pink granite called Llanite that is found here in the “Llano Uplift” all make Llano worth adding to your list of weekend road-trip explorations.

Notes
Stay at the Badu House (915-247-4304), built in 1891 and originally a bank, but now restored as an inn and restaurant. The place for lunch is the famous Cooper’s Barbecue (915-247-5713), where you can select your meat from a fire pit before taking it inside to fix up for your liking. For morning eats there is a great little breakfast taco shack across from the convenience store at the intersection of Hwy 29 & 16, and the Hungry Hunter serves sit down home-style breakfast like no-other.
