A holiday in El Paso means a lot of fun and frolic. Spring in El Paso is pleasant while summers are hot. Winters are mild and fall is generally considered the best time to visit. But the Sun City or El Paso is charming in all the four seasons. Do take certain precautions before setting out for a once in a lifetime vacation here though.
