Overview

Ponce, located on the southern coast of Puerto Rico has more historic buildings and plazas than the capital of Old San Juan. With over 1000 buildings, the architecture is mainly 19th-century criollo, which is a blend of rococo and neoclassical. Similar to New Orleans and Mardi Gras, the Carnival in February looks very much like the Big Easy. Parades and masked revelers fill the streets. With lots of local color, cafes and live salsa on the weekends, Ponce is great place to visit for those that want to capture a snapshot of the day-to-day life in an urban center outside of San Juan. Call the Tourism Office for more information.

The city had so many things to see it was amazing, I loved the old fire station and the castle. The beach here needs a lot of work I have seen better.

Ponce is a must see. At the town plaza visit the cathedral, eat ice cream, visit the firehouse and buy arts and crafts at the local stores (prices better than in San Juan). Some tours are free. You should visit the Castillo Serralles and the Guancha boardwalk. It is easy to get to from San Juan. It is a full day trip.
