Inside the walls, ramble through narrow cobblestone streets and
past the cathedral (where Jennifer Lopez married Marc Anthony)
and pick up a piragua a Puerto Rican snow cone that comes in
flavors like passion fruit, mango, http://www.cheapjerseys11

Half the price of Miami and without the club music booming
through the streets, Old San Juan is the perfect place to get
away from it all no passport required.
Here’s everything you need to know to do the city properly. Hit
the shops before or after this time to avoid a massive
headache.
Stay: Hotel El Convento, the Chateau Marmont of the Caribbean.
Housed in a former convent, the rooms surround an inner terrace
with huge trees. The rooftop pool offers some of the best views
in the city, and the restaurant is legendary.
Shop: Ole Curiosidades. This famous hat store lets you get
measured, pick your ribbon color, and walk out with a
personally fitted, handmade Panama style hat for around $70
three times less than almost anywhere else in the world.
Eat: Caf Don Ruiz. Serving some of the cheap jerseys best
caf con leche and jibarito (a Puerto Rican specialty sandwich
made with fried plantains, cheese, and ham) in the city, this
caf grows its own coffee and roasts it in the back. These
baristas are artists.
Drink: La Factoria. The bartenders here elevate mixology to a
high art. Each drink is mixed to perfection and includes
syrups, mixes, and extracts made in house. Hungry? The bar
snacks are just as good as the drinks. Try the fried goat
cheese with lavender infused honey. Bonus: Across the street is
a dance studio, so you get live entertainment.
Food tour: Spoon Food Tours. Make sure to ask for Carolina
Jimenez. These people know Old San Juan like the back of their
hands and will tell you everything there is to know about
street food and local restaurants, bars, and culture.
