"Although Puerto Rican cooking is somewhat similar to both Spanish and Mexican cuisine, it has a unique style, using such indigenous seasonings and ingredients as coriander, papaya, cacao, nispero (a tropical fruit that's brown, juicy, and related to the kiwi), apio (a small African-derived tuber that's sort of a more pungent type of turnip), plantains, and yampee (a tuber that's similar to an apio, but bigger, growing as big as 5-10 lb.)."

"Puerto Ricans hold deep pride, not only in their island but in each individual region: San Juan, Ponce, and Mayagüez battle for the title of Puerto Rico’s supreme city, and viequenses and culebrenses both insist that there is really no reason to visit the other island."

About San Juan
juha from Finland wrote about San Juan 8 months, one week ago
This was one of the stops on our Caribbean cruise. A very nice city with interesting (war) history and fortresses. Makes you think how those guys survived the heat in old army uniforms... See the two fortresses. That's the best thing here. And buy some local rum.

Da House looks very sleek with all the artwork, but the noise from the bar just below is just a bit too much. Ok if you are the one staying out all the way to 6am.

Really nice asian food with a puerto rican twist. One of the best dinners on our 3 weeks trip in NYC, Puerto Rico and BVI.

You can get a free bus to and from Condado and Isla Verde starting from this station! Actually, all the buses are obviously free in San Juan...

Make sure to visit also the other fortress although this one is bigger and better. It was about 100 degrees Fahrenheit and 95% humidity while I was here. Makes you wonder how the soldiers in the old times could live here with the thick uniforms.
juha from Finland wrote about Fort San Cristobal 8 months, one week ago
A fort built by the Spanish. Lots of interesting stuff here too although the other fort just a kilometer away is bigger and perhaps a bit better.
juha from Finland wrote about Casa Don Q 8 months, one week ago
Don Q is one of the Puerto Rican rum brands. In this museum/shop/bar you'll get to see how rum is made, you get to taste it for free (they make pretty good drinks) and get to buy it too. Convenient and educational!
