Overview

Hype:

Paseo de la Princesa (English: Princess Promenade), is a partially waterside 19th-century pedestrian promenade about 0.50 miles in length located in the historic district of Old San Juan in Puerto Rico. Constructed between 1852 and 1854 in honor of Queen Isabella II of Spain’s first-born, Princess of Asturias Infanta Isabel, the promenade runs adjacent and parallel to the southwestern section of the Walls of Old San Juan, passing through the Fuente Raíces honoring Puerto Rican identity, and ending at Puerta de San Juan (San Juan Gate). Lined with Victorian lampposts and benches, large trees and gardens, and varying fountains and sculptures, it hosts food and artisan vendors, musical and theatrical entertainers, and cultural restaurants and festivals. Paseo de la Princesa is often described as one of the most scenic city walkways in the world and, as a result of its location close to the cruise ship harbor, it is often the starting point for sightseeing in Old San Juan.

Story

We spent the afternoon in Old San Juan. We walked through the Castillo San Cristobal and then did some souvenir shopping. The castle was very interesting and was fun to explore.
