I started the morning off early with a walk through the extensive grounds of the Embassy Suites / Golden Sands resort in Dorado, and around mid-day we made our way into the Puerto Rican capital -- San Juan. Old San Juan is a beautifully restored colonial city and was founded in 1521. We parked our vehicle close to the Puerto Rican Capitol and started walking west towards Old San Juan past Plaza Colon which features a statue of Christopher Columbus. After my initial explorations of the popular shopping street Calle Fortaleza I discovered the Governors Mansion (la Fortaleza) where two local policemen enlightened me about the significance of this building. Then I came across the Parque de las Palomas where hundreds of pigeons swarm the tourists who feed them. Walking north I explored the Atlantic waterfront, the Old San Juan Cemetery and one of San Juans most imposing fortifications: Fort San Felipe del Morro, begun in 1539, which today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I even hopped on the free open-air tourist trolley to get a more comprehensive view of Old San Juan and caught a nice sunset, looking south over the Bay of San Juan.

Estoy seguro de que todo aquel que lleve unos añitos en el mundillo de FEVE se acordara de esta locomotora. Y es que fue una mitica. Sin duda la mas limpia y cuidada de todas las Alsthom, y tambien de todas las locomotoras. Un verano mas, viernes por la tarde tras la parada para comer en Marron, la 1653 remolca el largo (ahora lo es mas aun) Transcantabrico, como todas las temporadas durante muchos años. Por desgracia, esta locomotora cayo en el triste "accidente" de Carranza en el año 2000, junto a la 1609, 1661, 1665 y lo que es mucho mas importante, los dos maquinistas y los dos acompañantes... A ellos va dedicado este video.

On this gorgeous Saturday (no rain, finally) we took coastal highway 165 into San Juan from Dorado, a beautiful drive along the waterfront without any traffic whatsoever. We first explored a little stretch of land called "Isla de Cabras" (Goats Island) which is a tiny island strategically located at the entrance of San Juan Bay. Its historically significant position is evidenced by a fortification called "El Cañuelo" which is not accessible to visitors. The island was even used as a leper colony in the late 1800s. From there we drove back past the main power station and the Bacardi Rum factory to the Ferry Terminal in Cataño where we took a ferry across the bay into Old San Juan. I rediscovered many of the places I had already visited earlier, including the fortress San Felipe del Morro and the adjacent San Juan Cemetery. I was enchanted by the narrow, cobble-stoned streets with their brightly coloured stuccoed houses. In the courtyard of the historic building "El Cuartel de Ballaja" I came across a major festival for guitarists who play the local "cuarto" guitar, and two teenage boys played a little Spanish song for me on this unique instrument. I even caught images of a local wedding right in front of the Cathedral of San Juan. At dusk the Christmas lights on the Plaza de Armas and along the Calle Fortaleza came to life. As the sun was going down I positioned myself on the Plaza de la Rogativa to catch the sunset and then walked through the Puerta de San Juan for a ...
