Trip report - 4 day trip to Puerto Rico

Among all islands in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico (“Rich Port”) is among the few to have historical as well as geographical places of interest, alongside the beaches. It is a U.S. territory, so, flights from the mainland United States are treated as domestic flights. It has tropical weather, so, a visit in the later part of the year is recommended. Public transport is poor outside of the main city of San Juan, so, if you want to explore the island, a rental car is highly recommended. Here is a recommended four-day itinerary.

Day 1
San Juan National Historic Site consists of two Spanish castles which illustrate the History of Puerto Rico since the Spanish invasion in the 15th century. Entry fee is $5 and a free shuttle not only connects the castles but will also give you a tour of the old city. It will take 3-4 hours to do a full tour of the site. Visit the birthplace of Piña Colada afterwards for a dinner. They do have virgin Piña Colada which is non-alcoholic. Spend rest of the day in the old city.

Been to PR last weekend for a 2 days short trip. Visited Old SJ and EYNP. Stayed at Hyatt with kitchen and made meals. Being a veggie myself, played safe and ordered stuff from Subway when possible. Found that the directions are all in Spanish, I had no clue when driving over there with my GPS yelling different names....

Yeah. Puerto Rico is more Spanish than English, specially outside San Juan. I know decent Spanish, so, I was able to manage.

Just a heads up @Ashish Bhatia , if you duplicate content it can cause google to think that a site is scraping, so we have to remove the post from here, or from the original site to prevent doing damage to reputation. Let me know which is best.
