Definitely will be a highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico next Christmas!

I've only briefly visit Old San Juan once (part of a cruise), and it did fascinate me. Thanks for tell us about this great museum, Jonathan. It does sound like a MustSee! Conde Naste just did a brief piece calling Puerto Rico the new Caribbean hot spot. Here's a link to their piece.

Fascinating history. Stunning photos. Thanks.

A missing bit: El Morro and the historic site as a whole is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but while I included that in the Tags and Collections for the blog, I forgot to mention it in the text! My apologies...

  El Morro, the giant fortification that's guarded San Juan Harbor for nearly 500 years, is the sight we saw before we saw it. Its image is everywhere when you do online research for a trip to Puerto Rico; its "garitas"—small domed...

Jonathan L gives us a tour of two historic Spanish forts, later used by the U.S., that guard the entrance to San Juan Bay

"Both forts are U.S. National Park Historic Sites. The fee is $10 for a one-day ticket that will provide entrance to both El Morro and San Cristóbal. If you have a yearly NHP pass, it will get you in for free." I'm familiar with National Park Service passes, yearly & lifetime. I've been unable to find a reference to the "NHP " pass. Can you clarify please? Thanks for the visit to San Juan's forts. El Morro was a favorite spot when I lived in PR.

Oooops, I mistyped that. It should have been NPS.

I am heading to Puerto Rico in October. I am excited to see the forts. Thank you for the great preview!

You're welcome.
