Sightseeing
Castillo San Felipe del Morro is our most known landmark. It is an impressive structure with unending history. A visit inside is a must, but I also recommend its beautiful surroundings, with spectacular views. There is a corridor through the outer walls, along the ocean, Paseo de La Princesa, which makes for beautiful walks. The spacious front lawn is the perfect spot for a picnic or some kite flying!
