Old World Meets New in San Juan, Puerto Rico

08 Mingle with the Locals on Calle Loíza

San Juan has many historic sites and tourist havens to keep you occupied, but some travelers may prefer a more local experience. Calle Loíza is the perfect destination for mingling with the neighborhood. Located in the working-class barrio of Santurce, restaurants, bars, clubs, and coffee shops generously populate this growing hipster community. Walk the mile-and-a-half length of road from Condado, stopping to photograph the colorful murals and building facades along the way. Don't miss out on Libros Libres, an open-air collection of free books. Afterward, head for an art gallery or catch a free movie at Cinema Paradiso.
