We arrived, checked into our Airbnb — a beachfront condo in San Juan — and went straight out for dinner at Ropa Grill in Condado. Wow, the menu.
After breakfast we headed to Plaza del Quinto Centenario in Old San Juan — a striking, multi-level public square at the northern edge of the old city, built in 1992 for the 500th anniversary of Columbus's first voyage. It sits at one of the highest points in the historic district, with sweeping views of the Atlantic and the Castillo San Felipe del Morro across the lawn.
We booked a proper tour of Castillo San Felipe del Morro — $10 per person, worth every cent. Then lunch at a local wing spot, and back to the condo for the rest of the day on the beach, sipping pineapple cocktails.
