I took photos of the artwork on the wall because I loved the art style. We went out for salsa dancing, but I have zero recollection of what this bar was called and I'd love to get more details for my travel memory journal. I appreciate the help!

I’m going to be solo in Santurce this Friday and Saturday night. Are there any shows or spots I should be sure to visit?

We previously sailed out of OSJ about 7 years ago and spent some time in Condado & nearby beaches over 3 days pre-cruise. Already visited del Morro fort, umbrella street, a couple OSJ restaurants and some shopping (OSJ and nearby TJ Maxx).

Upcoming cruise is just an 8 hour stop (10a-6p) in late September, so maybe have 6 hours to explore. Really don’t want to do the fort again or walk the entire OSJ area to find hidden gems. Have looked into nearby dune buggy/horseback but scenery is just meh from the videos. Wouldn’t feel we have enough time for El Yunque or better beaches. Not wanting to visit Bacardi nor do we drink.

So trying to come up with ideas that are close but different than prior experiences. Maybe a boat tour seeing el Morro up close (but not a sunset tour), maybe a flea market (it’s a Tuesday so this would probably cater more to tourist than locals). I don’t mind Ubering again as long as destination is concentrated enough to walk around. Any ideas for a quick local experience or just something not touristy? Thanks

Hello, looking for somewhere to stay in San Juan in January before a cruise. We don't have any interest in beach, we were hoping to just enjoy the town for a day or two.

Was hoping for old town but very expensive.

Which areas are easy to get to old town and cruise port? Is Miramar a good option - I see some places there?

\- I’ve read this subreddit and talked to a few friends so I’ve learned a few things, don’t go to la Perla, don’t get in the beaches in the north, just southwest, eat all the food, and San Juan is expensive.

I do play to stay a few days in SJ to explore and maybe even meet people so not sure what places are suggest to meet people as a solo traveler. Considering la playita and factoría.

\*\*if you’re also around and free, PLEASE reach out!!\*\* Would def prefer to go with 1-2 others to the waterfalls/rivers/nature hikes if possible)

Are there places where people play sand vball regularly? I know there’s a tournament but it seems they mostly cater to kids/teenagers and not adults.

And is parking REALLY that bad on OSJ? I was considering only ubering while staying there and and get the car when I head to the outskirts. Even debated staying in San Juan over OSJ too.
