Where the large cruise ships dock by Old Town, San Juan










These massive walls were built around San Juan to protect it from its enemies.  San Juan was Spain's
main shipping port in its transportation of gold, silver and jewels back to
Spain from the Americas.

The hill that Castle El Morro sits on to overlook                                      

                                                                            and protect the entrance to the harbor.

Castle El Morro protected San Juan through various attacks during the 1500's. Work was started on the fort in 1539, with construction of various defenses continuing over the next 200 years.

Nightime festivals happen quite often especially when cruise ships are in port.  Lots of live music, open air dining, and people selling trinkets abound.  Also, salsa music and dancing.

Doesn't this look nice for December?
