The Puerto Rican character
Strolling Old San Juan
The walled city of Old San Juan is a treasury of colonial architecture. Its houses, gardens, churches, plazas, fortresses and esplanades preserve five centuries of New World history. Walk along lanes paved with blue bricks once used as ballast on Spanish galleons, and find hidden corners, like the home of legendary Ponce de Leon, who sought the fabled Fountain of Youth. After savoring a Caribbean lunch at Amadeus, appreciate the artistic legacy of the island at two major museums: the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico and the Museo Arte Contemporaneo de Puerto Rico. In the evening, stroll the narrow streets with their vibrant Latin ambiance and celebrate your visit to "the island of enchantment" by dining at the Parrot Club. It offers Nuevo Latino specialties and live music, either Brazilian, salsa or Latino jazz. At the end of a night on the town, return to the tranquillity of Yuquiyu.
