Large, old fortress with lots of history and great views from the upper level. The lawn in front is also a really fun time for flying a kite and eating a piragua (snow cone). Great for kids!

Food Scene
My favorite destination for breakfast, this is a local chain. Their coffee is great (buy a bag of 100% PR coffee to take home) and the sorullitos (corn sticks) are a perfect complement for sandwiches.

Our corner bar/restaurant, they serve really good home-cooked meals and strong drinks. There is dancing on the weekends in the alley. Very local vibe but friendly to foreigners, this is the real deal!

A little gimmicky but locals love it too! Very traditional country vibe, with servers in traditional costume. Serves very good mofongo (plantains), which might as well be our national dish.
