El Morro de Puerto Rico
El Morro de Puerto Rico is one of the places most visited by tourist that go to Puerto Rico every year. First because El Morro is in old San Juan which is the area where most of the tourists stay or at least is really close to the most visited Puerto Rico Hotels. El Morro is also known as Castillo de San Felipe del Morro. The constructions started in the year 1540. In1983 El Morro was declared World Heritage and today is part of the National History of Puerto Rico. Over the years they been some changes made to El Morro but it seems that not matter what changes they made on the past now days they are trying to have El Morro as close as they can to the architecture that El Morro has before any changes were made.

Why El Morro? This is a good question and I’m going to try to explain it as best as I can. First El Morro have a lot of Puerto Rico History since that’s the place that protected Puerto Rico for many attacks years and years ago. It took a lot of years to make El Morro the way it is but they got it to the way they wanted. First it is in an area that is beautiful because you can see a lot from Puerto Rico and second it is relaxing to go since El Morro is in the Old San Juan you will be able to see more historic places on your way.

My suggestion is that the day you pick to go to El Morro in Puerto Rico you should try to get up early and try to catch all the videos and all the information that they offer there. It’s good to know more about all the attacks that were made to Puerto Rico and everything that they had to go through in the past. I always say that this is a place that you must go no matter what when you go to Puerto Rico since everywhere you go boricuas and people that been in Puerto Rico will ask you did you went to El Morro de Puerto Rico? I hope this information helps you on adding this place to your list on your next visit to Puerto Rico. The tickets to go in normally are around $2.00 to $5.00 for Adults and Minors. Have in mind that this could change at any time. That’s not including Parking or anything inside El Morro.

Informacion a los turistas sobre Nuestro Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico la Isla del Encantro, Que mas puedo decir? Solo quiero informarlos un poco mas de la isla de Puerto Rico. Mucha de la gente, turistas que visitan a Puerto Rico cada año normalmente se hospedan en el area norte de la Isla en San Juan ya que este es el lugar mas cercano a el aeropuerto internacional y es donde puedes encontrar la mayoria de las cosas para los turistas los Clubs, Hoteles, y varias de las Playas.

Primero que nada quiero informarle que si cada turista que visita a Nuestro Puerto Rico y se hospeda en el area de San Juan o en el Norte de la Isla y piensa que esto es todo lo que usted puede encontrar en Puerto Rico se equivoca y se va a arrepentir de no haber explorado otras areas de la Isla del Encanto. Yo le hablo de mis experiencias ya que yo por los primeros 20 años de mi vida vivi en Puerto Rico pero en el area sur y aun cuando voy a visitar la isla del encanto cada año me sorprendo de todas las cosas bonitas que puedo encontrar en otros sitios que no sea San Juan. Por ejemplo solo para mencionar varios El Yunque, Las Cuevas de Camuy, El Radar de Arecibo y muchos mas son las cosas bonitas y turisticas que vale la pena ir a ver. Tambien le puedo hablar de varios Hoteles, Restaurantes y Playas alrededor de la isla que usted se va a quedar asombrado con los precios, comidas, y la atención que le van a brindar a usted pero sobre todo la maravillosa vista de algunos hoteles, playas y restaurantes.

Otros lugares los que usted debe considerar en visitar.

Boqueron y Playa Santa, estos son algunas de las playas que se encuentran en la costa cerca y en Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.

Viequez y Culebra, para estos lugares usted va a necesitar viajar en avion o en un barco pero son lugares que si lo que usted esta buscando es algo mas privado y que usted pueda relajarse. Aquí usted va a encontrar una de las mejores playas, y tambien la privacidad que usted esta buscando.

Plaza de Ponce, si usted quiere ver mas de la Historia de Puerto Rico este es un lugar en el que usted puede ir para ver como las casas y negocios que están alrededor de la plaza de Ponce, Puerto Rico todavía mantienen las misma estructura de muchos años atrás.

Yo se que un dia no es suficiente para poder explicar y compartir mas información sobre Nuestro Puerto Rico por eso quiero ser breve y espero que usted haya entendido que cuando visite por primera vez o regrese a Puerto Rico no solo se quede en un solo lugar porque si usted se toma el tiempo en visitar varios pueblos y ciudades de la isla va a poder aprender mas acerca de la historia, cultura, tradiciones y mucho mas. San Juan es un tremendo lugar y siempre le dedico tiempo cuando visito Puerto Rico pero Nuestro Puerto Rico es mucho mas grande que San Juan.

A little more about Puerto Rico

About Puerto Rico, What else can I say? I just want to share a little more information about the Island Puerto Rico. Most of the people, tourist that go to Puerto Rico every year they normally stay in the north of the Island San Juan because that’s the place that you can find most of the Clubs, Hotels and few beaches.

Let me tell you that if every tourist that goes to Puerto Rico and stay in San Juan or in the north side of the Island knows that theres more than that in the other places in Puerto Rico they will regret just staying in only one part of the Island. My experience because I lived 20 years in Puerto Rico is that even me didn’t know about a lot of places that you can go that you can have a good time and see stuff that is most have to see. Just to name a few El Yunque, Cuevas de Camuy, Arecibo Radar and much more. These places are areas that you need to see when you go to Puerto Rico since it talks by itself about the culture, and history about Puerto Rico. Also there some small hotels and resorts in the West and the South that I recommend you to take a look at them and if you can to at least spend a night on them.

Other places that you need to consider to go are:

Boqueron - this are beaches in and close to Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Viequez and Culebra - you need to take a small airplane or a boat to get here but this are good places if you want to go in a get away and have a good time. This places are relaxing and they have some of the best private beaches in Puerto Rico. Plaza de Ponce - This place have a lot of History and if you go there you can see that in the downtown the houses still have the same design from years, years ago.

Well I could stay here all day talking about Puerto Rico but like I said at the beginning this is a little about Puerto Rico. I hope that you guys enjoy my information and that If you are planning to go to Puerto Rico on the near future have in mind that there’s a lot more places than San Juan, Puerto Rico not that San Juan is not a good place but you should try to go to different cities so you can feel more about the little stuff that makes Puerto Rico and pleasant place.

Weather in Puerto Rico

The Weather in Puerto Rico, for all of you that wonder how is the weather in Puerto Rico let me tell you that you cant complain since the weather is pretty stable and around the same temperature all year around. Temperatures in Puerto Rico are normally 75 to 90 all year around on most of the places and around the mountains normally it will go lower than that. Humidity is the only thing that kind of bothers the temperature in Puerto Rico since depending on the humidity you can feel a little weird since you are most likely have to take two showers a day.

The good thing is that at least when is summer and the weather in Puerto Rico is a little bit uncomfortable more some people you can go to the beach and you can refresh yourself and have a good tan and time. Also then in winter time at least you can have a nice weather and not to cold for the need of the jacket.

I want to let you know that if you lives on a cold place and you are planning to go to Puerto Rico you can still go to the beach and you will have a good time because the water might be cool for the Boricuas but not for the people that go from a cold place. I lived in Puerto Rico for a long time and let me tell you now that I live away every time I go to Puerto Rico even if is winter time I go to the beach because the temperature is a lot warmer than what I have in the states at that time. Other stuff to have in mind about the weather in Puerto Rico is that the little mosquitos are going to be all over you specially if you go to places close to the ocean.

Finishing my little article about the weather in Puerto Rico I want to add that no matter what month you want to go to Puerto Rico is always going to be a good time since the weather is not cold and not to hot and like some people say the tropical weather in Puerto Rico.

Languages Spoken in Puerto Rico

Spanish is the main language spoken in Puerto Rico follow by English. In Puerto Rico 90% of the population speak Spanish all the time unless they don’t have any other choice. Every school in Puerto Rico teach you both languages Spanish and English but they focus more on Spanish and teach you English as the second language. So feel free to plan a trip to Puerto Rico because once you get there if you need to communicate you wont have that problem since in San Juan and most of the areas close to the tourist areas the people that work there are bilingual and if you go to a place that is not a tourist place trust me even if they don’t talk back to you, if you talk to them slowly they will understand you and they will be able to help you with anything that you are looking for.

There are some privates Schools in Puerto Rico that they teach you English only but this is a small percentage of school compare with all the schools in Puerto Rico but some people have the choice to go to a school that only teach you in English.

Some Colleges in Puerto Rico teach you French too and some other languages as an extra credit for your degree. But even like that most of the small towns and cities still focus everything on the Spanish languages. The thing with the Puerto Ricans is that they are a little bit shy and even that they know the English Language the refuse to speak English unless they don’t have any more choice. I include myself on that group because I’m Puerto Rican also know as Boricua and I refused to speak English or practice unless I had to and now I been living in the states for 8 years and trust me if it wasn’t for the education in Puerto Rico that they teach you that include English since you start on first grade it would it be really hard for me to start college in the states without the knowledge that I had. The good thing is that even that boricuas speaks the Spanish language all the time when they go to the movie theaters the movies are in English with the subtitles in Spanish and also the movies when you buy them they are in English. Another thing that helps too with the English Language is that if you get cable TV in Puerto Rico most of the channels are in English.

I guess to finish talking about the languages spoken in Puerto Rico I want to say that don’t be afraid if you’re the only language that you know is English because you will find Puerto Ricans in the tourist area that will speak to you in English and like I said before in this article even if is in a small town they will understand you as long as you slow your speed a little bit when you talk to them. If you have any more questions about Puerto Rico or want more information, please visit Nuestro Puerto Rico for more information about other stuff other than the Languages Spoken in Puerto Rico.
