Castillo San Felipe del Morro
Six levels of sixteenth-century stone above the Atlantic, and the best introduction to Old San Juan.
El Yunque National Forest and La Coca Falls
The only tropical rainforest in the U.S. Forest system, and an easy morning’s drive from the villa.
La Placita de Santurce
The neighborhood’s food heart — a 1910 market square ringed by some of San Juan’s best kitchens.
La Factoría
An unmarked door on Calle San Sebastián opening into a warren of six very different bars.
Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico
Five centuries of Puerto Rican art, a sculpture garden, and the best wet-afternoon plan in Santurce.
Condado Beach and Ventana al Mar
Your doorstep beach — calm water at the lagoon end, open surf at the other, and a park in between.
