San Juan Food Tour
Puerto Rican food is delicious. Is tasty (spicy but not hot).
Old San Juan has amazing restaurants and coffee shops. Am very passionate about our food and would be happy to take you to some of my favorite places. Along the way, I'll tell you about our history, culture and of course. . . our food.
We meet in Plaza Colon (Columbus Square).
We'll walk to a coffee shop, were you will try one of our local pastries (either a "mayorca" or a "quesito"). You will have some of the best coffee in the world.
From there we will walk to one or two other restaurants where you will try the mofongo, and some of our favorite samplers ("tostones", "amarillos", "sorullitos", etc). Make sure you try our rice and beans, what we eat almost every day. You also have to try some of our amazing deserts.
We can also sample some "Piña Colada" from Barrachina Restaurant (where it was invented), some "limbers" (frozen juice on a cup), a "piragua" (local snow cones) and/or a freezer pop from "Senor Paleta".
This is a private/customized tour, so we can shape it in the way that suits you the most.
The tour is 3 hours long, and the price is $148 (for a group of up to 6 persons) plus the cost of the food (about $20pp).

Ruta San Juan Bautista (pilgrimage tour)
Old San Juan is considered the "crib" of Christianity in America. There is a lot of history (art, culture, architecture, etc. ) in the Old City. Alonso Manso (the first Bishop of San Juan) is also the first Christian Bishop to come to America (1512). That means that all the churches in America had to report to San Juan.
Within the city walls, we have one of the highest concentration of temples per square mile in the world. Some of the structures are considered as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
The Route of San Juan Bautista shows the most important religious attractions in Old San Juan. You can discover the origins of Christianity in the New World for the past 500 years. You will discover some of the oldest churches in America, some located inside forts and palaces; also catacombs, religious ceremonies, saint persons, miracles, religious art, relics and a unique architectonic legacy.
I love to feel the energy of every church (different congregations).
