Puerto Rico
The Spanish culture of Puerto Rico was established when Ponce de Leon made the first settlement in 1508. Spain managed to keep possession of the island until defeated in the Spanish-American War when it passed in 1899 to United States sovereignty. Today it elects its own government in association with the United States.
The narrow cobble stoned streets of Old San Juan reflect the architectural heritage of the city with its numerous forts, churches, museums, and plazas. Here in Old San Juan is the great El Morro Fortress that Spain constructed from 1539 to 1586. Covering some 200 acres and towering 145 feet above the Atlantic, this colonial bastion remained impregnable against pirates, privateers, and foreign navies.
For swimming and water sports, palm-shaded Luguillo Beach is famous for its calm crystal water fringed by a coral reef. Also popular for its beaches is the island of Vieques located 11 miles offshore and Culebra Island which can be reached by a short ferry ride.
