San Juan National Historic Site
San Juan National Historic Site is an important historic site that preserves military defensive architecture from the Spanish colonial period.

The site primarily includes Castillo San Felipe del Morro, Castillo San Cristóbal, Fortín San Juan de la Cruz, and parts of the city walls surrounding the old city. Visitors can explore the ancient forts, batteries, sentry boxes, and city walls to learn about Puerto Rico's colonial history, military defense systems, and the historical evolution of the Caribbean region.San Juan · 15.3 km from Dorado

Beautiful beach, tourists in groups of three or two, lush trees, and the whole day was very relaxing here, but the sun on the beach is not small, so pay attention to sun protection, otherwise it is easy to get sunburned.
