This is a beautiful walk, away from the crowds of Old San Juan. It starts with a wonderful tree-lined passage, winds around the wall by the water front and then returns to the city by way of the old gate. Enjoy! More

This promenade is a beautifuk stroll along the foot of the walls surrounding old town but that is about all it is. Not much to see or do down here. More

Beyond the fountain is the beginning of Paseo del Morro, a well-paved shoreline path that hugs Old San Juan's walls and leads past the city gate at Calle San Juan and continues to the tip of the headland, beneath El Morro. More

The paseo and fountain are lovely, but why is the 1890's cafe only open for lunch and dinner? What a great spot for a morning coffee! More

You can find little stores, brand name, galleries, cultural places, while walking a closed street. There are no cars and the security is enforced. No alcohol on street policy makes this a nice place for families. More
