Photo Friday: Old San Juan

February 20th, 2009
Amie from Ciao Bambino

My favorite part of Puerto Rico was old San Juan.  A walled city in the middle of the Caribbean—fantastic! We felt like we were in Seville and parts of the city reminded me of Lisbon.

Fort San Felipe del Morro is magnificent with a massive grass area surrounded by water on three sides. We were there on a Sunday—I’ve never seen so many families flying kites.  My only regret is we didn’t spend more time there. Although it is small, you need a full day to see all the points of interest.  See our list of the Top 5 Kid-Friendly Excursions in Puerto Rico.

    Oh, I’d so like to get back to that part of the world – I’m brushing up on my Spanish at evening classes.

    Another place I haven’t visited! Walled cities are intriguing, so I’m sure I’d like it. Thanks for sharing.

    Great pick — old San Juan was my favorite spot in P.R. as well!
