Christmas In Puerto Rico

Har­vey Dee­gan Inter­view Click here to lis­ten to the inter­view! Today I had a unique expe­ri­ence. I spoke about Puer­to Rican Christ­mas tra­di­tions to an audi­ence that’s most­ly on the oth­er side of the plan­et. That’s right, this morn­ing I had the rare oppor­tu­ni­ty to speak with Har­vey Dee­gan, a radio per­son­al­i­ty with Radio 6PR in Perth, West­ern Aus­tralia. This Con­tin­ue reading…

Puerto Rico By GPS Reaches Australia

Posted on1 Comment

Yes­ter­day I had the unique plea­sure of speak­ing with Mr. Steve Collins, the host of “Radio Roam­ing”, a 24/7 trav­el talk show from Aus­tralia.  Steve is a sea­soned radio pro­fes­sion­al that pro­motes trav­el to west­ern Aus­tralia, but when he stum­bled onto Puer­to Rico By GPS he was intrigued by our Island’s beau­ty. The edit­ed ver­sion of the inter­view is 35 Con­tin­ue reading…

New Visitor Information Center in Old San Juan

Posted on

Last Fri­day I spent some time in Old San Juan.  Just as I arrived I dis­cov­ered the new Vis­i­tor Infor­ma­tion Cen­ter that’s locat­ed right behind the Ale­jan­dro Tapia y Rivera Munic­i­pal The­ater, where the old “Pub­lic Bathing Facil­i­ties” used to be dur­ing the first decades of the 20th Cen­tu­ry. If you’re com­ing from the Cov­adon­ga Munic­i­pal Park­ing just walk west Con­tin­ue reading…

If I Were A Snowbird… Winter In Puerto Rico

Posted on

It’s that time of year.  Sum­mer is almost over and many Amer­i­cans (espe­cial­ly those liv­ing in the north­ern states) are decid­ing where they’re going to spend the crud­est win­ter months.  They’re called “snow­birds”, because they migrate south dur­ing the win­ter months.  Some have sec­ond homes in Flori­da.  But after a while the amuse­ment parks and golf cours­es all start to Con­tin­ue reading…

Old San Juan At Dusk

Posted on4 Comments

Last Mon­day was a sun­ny day. There was­n’t a cloud in the sky, which is rare for the month of August in Puer­to Rico. Typ­i­cal­ly the sum­mer months in Puer­to Rico are char­ac­ter­ized by over­cast skies, usu­al­ly not due to rain clouds but to the Sahara dust that cov­ers the Island for weeks at a time. Con­se­quent­ly, when I’ve been asked Con­tin­ue reading…

Now here’s a place that you’d nev­er expect to find on a small island like Puer­to Rico.  The Muse­um of Trans­porta­tion, in the munic­i­pal­i­ty of Guayn­abo, is noth­ing short of a jaw drop­per. And it’s new!  The muse­um opened its doors on Decem­ber 1, 2013 and it has become an instant sen­sa­tion among car afi­ciona­dos of all ages and the Con­tin­ue reading…

museo-felisa-rin­­con-de-gau­tier/a> Last Fri­day the 13th I once again vis­it­ed a unique attrac­tion in Puer­to Rico. This time my wife and I vis­it­ed the Felisa Rincón de Gau­ti­er Muse­um on the cor­ner of Clara Lair and “Cale­ta de San Juan” in Old San Juan. The place is a well deserved shrine to a lady who’s sense of ser­vice, hon­esty and all Con­tin­ue reading…

It’s fun­ny.  I launched this site less than a year ago.  Since then I’ve cov­ered close to 100 des­ti­na­tions in Puer­to Rico and pub­lished over a dozen posts about beau­ti­ful places to see.  I’ve shot videos for our YouTube Chan­nel, post­ed on Face­book, LinkedIn and Twit­ter and sent out thou­sands of emails pro­mot­ing our site.  And the ques­tions I receive Con­tin­ue reading…

Puerto Nuevo Beach… Vega Baja, Puerto Rico

Dur­ing the past week I “stopped the press­es”.  I put my pod­cast on hia­tus for 2 weeks, my blog “Pica­dil­lo”, my two YouTube chan­nels and my social media par­tic­i­pa­tion.  Why?  To share some time with a friend from Texas who was vis­it­ing the Island and with my son and his wife, who live in Okla­homa and showed up unex­pect­ed­ly on Con­tin­ue reading…

Las Cabezas De San Juan… Nature At It’s Best

Posted on1 Comment

This week I went back to nature. I got on my SUV, drove to the town of Fajar­do and vis­it­ed “Las Cabezas de San Juan”, a nature reserve unlike any oth­er in Puer­to Rico. Fajar­do is a small town on the north­east­ern tip of Puer­to Rico, about a 30 to 40-minute dri­ve from the San Juan Metro­plex. And believe me, Con­tin­ue reading…
