San Juan, Puerto Rico: Historical Architecture, Dynamic Nightlife, and Relaxing Beaches El Morro in Old San Juan is a massive stone fortress built by the Spanish in the 16th century to guard the coast of Puerto Rico from invasions. Today, the grounds surrounding the fortification are used for a much more benign purpose: kite-flying. Families converge on the spot on weekends, taking advantage of the coastal breezes to send their colorful creations soaring over the ramparts. Surrounded by a 20-foot-thick stone wall, Old San Juan boasts distinctive blue cobblestone streets lined with colonial-era churches and theaters alongside open-air taquerias and hip nightclubs that stay open into the wee hours. This historic center of the island’s capital city is just one stop on Beyond Boundaries Travel’s Puerto Rico tour spotlighting modern and historical culture. Conrad San Juan Condado Plaza hotel serves as a posh home base. Click http://beyondboundariestravel.c
