There is a golf course on the resort, several restaurants, and, of course, a spa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main lounge restaurant area has a wall of beautiful glass windows overlooking the Catalina Foothills, which are shockingly draped in snow as I am writing this.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do\"><span id=\"what-to-do\">What to Do<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"750\"  height=\"525\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/25080212\/mission-san-xavier-80x56.jpeg\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-26711 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/25080212\/mission-san-xavier-750x525.jpeg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/25080212\/mission-san-xavier-750x525.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/25080212\/mission-san-xavier-300x210.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/25080212\/mission-san-xavier-768x538.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/25080212\/mission-san-xavier-380x266.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/25080212\/mission-san-xavier-800x560.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/25080212\/mission-san-xavier-80x56.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/25080212\/mission-san-xavier.jpeg 900w\" ><figcaption>The San<em> Xavier<\/em> Mission<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-san-xavier-mission\"><span id=\"san-xavier-mission\"><em>San Xavier Mission<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you were not able to see a massive European Cathedral on your cancelled summer trip, you can drive down to the San Xavier Mission to fill the stained glass window void that you have been craving to satiate.

The jackfruit both tastes and feels like pulled pork as it melts in your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The menu is written upon a chalkboard because it is always changing. Ask the employees what is best that day and order it. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. If you are, call me up, and I will eat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-taqueria-juanitos\"><span id=\"taqueria-juanitos\"><em>Taqueria Juanitos<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This purple building with murals covering the inside walls has tacos abounding in flavor but not abounding in price.
