sculptor:“Located on the edge of the Central American Islands, La Fortaleza and San Juan National Historic Site was built in 1511 as a military base to protect the Spanish colonies and is of great strategic significance. La Fortaleza and San Juan National Historic Site is a typical military building complex that combines European military architectural styles with the actual conditions of the ports on the American mainland.”
事事随缘:“It is the most worthwhile attraction in the whole San Juan. In fact, it is also part of the national park and a world cultural heritage. There is a solid castle along the coast to prevent invasion from the sea. As the times progressed, the castle no longer had the original defensive function, so part of it was demolished, but most of it was preserved as a historical relic. It has undergone partial reconstruction and has now become an absolutely well-known tourist attraction. The castle is really beautiful. There is a large lawn outside. The terrain is very high and you can overlook the vast ocean. Locals usually bring their children here to fly kites and have picnics.
The combination of castle, sea, blue sky and white clouds is really beautiful. If you can stay overnight there, I suggest going there in the evening and morning respectively, so that you can enjoy the castle's unparalleled dusk and sunrise, as well as the staggering lizards that can be seen almost everywhere. In this situation, you can imagine what kind of picture it is, which will definitely make you feel that the trip is worthwhile. See the world at your own will”
sculptor:“Cape San Felipe Castle is the most dazzling building in Puerto Rico's San Juan Bay, the harbour defense fort is the second castle built by the Spaniards in San Juan more than 400 years ago, used to resist attacks by Dutch and British from the sea. It is now a landmark tourist attraction in San Juan.”
sculptor:“Fort San Juan was built by a Spanish military engineering team in 1589. San Juan in the Central American Islands was first occupied by Spain in 1521, and a castle was built on a small island at the entrance of the bay. It was an important base for Spain in the Americas.”
M25***40:“Beautiful beach, tourists in groups of three or two, lush trees, and the whole day was very relaxing here, but the sun on the beach is not small, so pay attention to sun protection, otherwise it is easy to get sunburned.”
M25***40:“We like this place very much. Since the hotel is not far away, after we found this place, we basically brought enough food and drinks to relax here every day. We really don’t feel bored even if we stay here for a whole day.”
M25***40:“This convention center is located in Grand Isle, where a U.S. naval base used to be. It is next to the Grand Isle Airport in Miramar. The architecture is inspired by the ocean, with different shades of blue symbolizing the waves. The Puerto Rico Convention Center is one of the largest convention centers in the Caribbean.”

穿白衬衣的薄荷星:“La Perla means "pearl" in Spanish. It is colorful and faces the sea, but it is a real slum. After the divine song "Despacito" was filmed here, La Perla became a popular place for tourists from all over the world to check in. There should be background music here [wink] Recommended restaurant La Garita Yaz It is a bit like the sunset cafe in Itaewon, Seoul. There is a super beautiful Atlantic coast outside the window.
