San Juan
Founded in 1521, the capital of Puerto Rico,
San Juan
, is the oldest city in US territory. We spent a day driving around in it. We did not really walk there because the weather was excruciatingly hot and finding parking was quite difficult. I have never driven on such
narrow streets
! Most of the central Old San Juan looked very cute with its quaint
multicolored buildings
. However
along the shore
next to
El Morro
we saw some
pretty poor living conditions
. The architecture of the city was quite
diverse
- from
Spanish mansions
to
old European buildings
to
contemparty residential towers
.
