Old San Juan.

Old San Juan, with its pastel and wrought-iron Spanish colonial houses, cobblestone streets and graceful plazas, has a distinctly European feel. The best way to appreciate the city's architecture is on foot. Wander to admire the lavender, tangerine and lime building facades, the elaborate ironwork on the porches. A street can suddenly open up to reveal a sweeping view of the bay of San Juan.
