San Juan Puerto Rico

4-5 January 2013

Dear Travelers,

It’s my birthday today and I celebrate it here in San Juan, one of my friend didn’t know that it was my birthday when one of our security guard greeted me when we are about to leave and look for a restaurant. Let me introduce you San Juan… J

The old walled city of San Juan is the gateway to Puerto Rico, whether you’re arriving by sea or by air. Founded by Spanish colonists in 1521, San Juan is the second-oldest city in the Americas (after Santo Domingo). Covering just seven square blocks, the historic heart of the city boasts some of the finest Spanish colonial architecture this side of Madrid.

Let us visit Castillo de San Felipe del Morro lying on the northwestern-most point of the islet of San Juan, a UNESCO Heritage site was completed in 1589 and named in honor of King Philip II of Spain, also referred to as El Morro. Designed to guard the entrance to the San Juan Bay and defend the city of Old San Juan from seaborne enemies.

See you there…

Rinell J
