A Trip to Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

A Trip to Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

My fiancé and I visited Puerto Rico before I started my new job at Disney. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and the old Spanish Colonial architecture. A visit to Old San Juan is like a trip back in time for us. I adore the buildings, streets, views, and the uniqueness of many other historical sites. I particularly liked the romantic walks down the cobblestone streets. In addition, El Moro is just amazing - filled with history and a great view.

I would definitely recommend any of my friends to take a tour of old San Juan. So here is a recap of the photos I took from this beautiful island. Photography can be tell a story and capture the history of this city. I hope you will enjoy this collection.
