During this week, known as Texas Week since most Texas public schools and universities are off for Spring Break, attention turns to South Padre Island. This spring break hotspot is named for Padre Jose Nicolas Balli who inherited the island from his parents and established Rancho Santa Cruz here. This statue of Padre Balli can be seen at the eastern foot of the Queen Isabella Causeway.
