Romantic Activities
Island Sights & Museums
The attractions of Puerto Rico are as vast as the island itself,
ranging from eco-tourism jaunts to historic sites that date back
to the days of Spanish explorers. Undoubtedly, the most popu-
lar stop on the island is
Old San Juan.
Dotted with museums
and historic sites and rich with the atmosphere of Spanish ex-
plorers and conquistadors, this region is a must for every visi-
tor. You can take a self-guided walk among the historic streets,
strolling hand in hand where lovers have walked for centuries.
The city's best shopping is also found in this area.
The most recognized site in Old San Juan is
Fuerte San
Felipe del Morro,
better known as
El Morro
. This fort, one of
the most photographed spots in the Caribbean, contains a mu-
seum and is administered by the National Park Service,
787-
729-6777. The Spanish constructed this formidable structure in
1539 to protect the entrance into San Juan Harbor, a point from
which the Spanish monitored their shipping between the Ca-
ribbean and Europe.
El Morro
means promontory, or headland,
in Spanish.
