A glimpse of San Juan...

A day well spent in San Juan, learning a little about the history and viewing the beautiful landscape. This day trip involved mostly a visit to El Castillo San Felipe del Morro, a 16th century citadel, part of the San Juan Historic Site.  There is more to see than time permitted, so if you have the opportunity to explore San Juan, you may want to have a few days.  It would be well spent and provide you with lots of cultural knowledge of this beautiful place.

Hubby at the entrance to tour San Juan National Historic Site.  This was a worthwhile visit to recommend for a half-day to full day tour.  The Historic Site includes the forts of San Cristóbal, San Felipe del Morro, San Juan de la Cruz (El Cañuelo) and the city walls.

A view of the port from inside the Historic Site.  The Carnival Breeze cruise ship is docked at the pier.

A glimpse of the soldier quarters.  Notice the small, narrow stairway in the background of the photo... used by the soldiers.
