The atmosphere is like no other and the love and pride for Puerto Rico is unmatched. The live music stages are set up on various streets, the food and alcohol are a plenty and the celebration is REAL! Wear your walking shoes because there is so much to see, hear, drink and eat. This year broke records of over 1million people in the streets of Old San Juan over the 4 days. It is a culture to embrace. So.. see you there next year my YELPies, I'll be the one with the tambourine and PR flag dress

I am so grateful, and happy, that I had a chance to experience this non-stop four day party in…read morewonderful Old San Juan, Puerto Rico last year. It was an experience my gal and I will never forget. It's basically four days and nights of their island version of Mardi Gras! While we were there the weather was absolutely perfect. Warm sunny days to explore, shop, walk the streets of pastel colored buildings and houses, visit historic sights, and do the touristy thing. Even paid a trip to the Bacardi rum distillery, and bartended a bit while enjoying some libations. Oh yeah! The eats? OMG - the Mofongo here is insanely good! So much delicious food. I am now a Mofongo addict. We had a chance to dine at many of the small cafes, and always tried to eat where the locals went. Then, awesome nights under the stars partying our asses off until midnight each evening. Even though we were surrounded on packed cobblestone streets with literally a hundred thousand other party animals each night, we loved it and never felt crowded in and stomped on. The people attending this festival were so friendly and respectful. Even when drinking and dancing to terrific DJ's, salsa bands, and numerous singers along the streets and plazas, if anyone bumped into us or stepped on our feet there was always an "excuse me" or "sorry buddy". Very warm, well behaved, and considerate people. The entertainment that performs at SanSe is top-notch. We did so much dancing that we slept so well when we plopped into bed afterwards. It was a fun way to get exhausted, then happily do it all over again the next day! The best part of the festival was wandering around, walking down some side street, and happening upon another party. Just some people playing instruments, the locals in lawn chairs, and breakout dancing in celebration. Anybody walking by was invited to join in. Loved it! Oh, and there were so many stands set up to try their street foods, and island cuisine mainstays. Bars were everywhere serving up ridiculously cheap beer and mixed drinks. Booze stands would pop up everywhere, including doorways to buildings were there should not be one. $2 beers. $3-5 large mixed drinks. It was easy on the wallet, and those drinks were not weak at all. I have to say, we felt pretty safe the whole time. The police force was out in full force, and they look like the types you don't mess around with. Very well organized event. We had booked this trip at last minute, as JetBlue had a getaway travel package that was hard to pass up. It was a no-brainer. Definitely, one of the best vacations we have ever been on. Hands down. Then, we all know what happened when hurricane Maria hit. Poor PR, and it's people, were destroyed. There is still widespread damage, a lot of the island has no power, and most services are not functional. Even to this day a year later. We hope and pray for PR, as we want to go back in support, and experience the culture, friendliness, and warmth that we were surrounded with. My heart goes out to the people there. Yes, we will party with you all again at San Sebastian. We can't wait to go back in the future and dance the nights away. Plus, I need my Mofongo! Long live SanSe!

I have to say that this was my favorite experience of our recent visit to Old San Juan. It's just a…read morebeautiful walk that starts near Calle del Recinto Sur at the end of the fort wall. You'll immediately see a tree and lantern lined street with many local vendors and benches. I'm not sure if they're set up there on a daily basis or not. We saw them on a Saturday morning. You'll eventually get to the promenade called Bastion de la Derecha de San Justo y Pastor. This is where you'll find the American Heritage Plaza, Children's Park, Princess Garden, and the old prison that is now a tourism company. The real draw is the Raices Fountain and the beautiful view of the ocean & fortified walls. But, it doesn't end there. The promenade continues on along the fortress wall that leads you to a very bizarre park with a public artwork by Carmen Inés Blondet called Crecimiento ("Growth"). Honestly, I thought it was some kind of historical spiked barrier to ward off enemies. It's definitely interesting to see. It's a beautiful walk that takes you under the Garita del la Fortaleza which is actually where I snapped a great picture of the San Juan Gate during one of our previous visits. We knew at that point that we were close to the prize. The Puerta de San Juan presented itself to us. It's a beautiful sight to see. There's a small pier as well as a park that is dedicated to Isabella I of Castile. She's a very significant figure in the discovery of Puerto Rico. At this point, you can choose to walk through the gate to connect to the old convent and cathedral or walk along Paseo del Morro. Just keep in mind that there is construction going on right now on the castle path. This means that you'll have to turn back around and exit at the gate. The reopening of this path is something to look forward to in the future. It's a nice way to see El Morro from a different perspective. It was time worth spent on a cool & breezy Saturday morning with lots to see along the way. A great relaxing walk for residents and travelers alike.

While there are many opportunities to purchase Tropical Fruits/Vegetables, Flowers and Herbs...there is also the opportunity to purchase a full lunch meal here by the Farmers as well. It's a very casual affair but for about $8 and up (but not too far up), one can enjoy a homemade platter of Nutritious Vegan/Vegetarian food and enjoy it under the cool of a tented open-air simple dining area. Feast on a platter and wash it down with a Fresh Coconut or try the Horchata, a sweet nutty beverage that is a specialty here. Most of all, be a part of an authentic local experience right in Viejo San Juan. The Farmer's Market is located within the charming open-air courtyard of the "Museo de San Juan" (on the same street, Calle Norzagaray) as the famous El Morro Fort making it a perfect "First Stop" before exploring the Historic Fort by the ocean or spending the afternoon on its expansive grounds flying a kite with all of the locals.
