Welcome to the first installment of Rubies on the Road. As soon as I started packing my bags for the trip to Old San Juan I was inspired to create this photo diary. I knew the beautiful Puerto Rican architecture and bright colors would provide the perfect backdrop but what we found was so much more beautiful than I imagined. I have to say a special Thank You to my sweet man Evan who booked this wonderful trip for us and obliged me by taking these awesome snaps of my outfits.
Below I've listed a few of our favorite restaurants, shops, hotels and scenic views to visit while in Old San Juan, PR which happens to be a quick 3 hour trip from Charlotte :)
- El Convento Hotel - can't say enough about this beautiful retreat. The location was once a thriving convent over 300 years ago but has been re-purposed several times and is now the perfect place to call home while visiting the City.
- El Morro - the amazing and beautiful fort in Old San Juan which is over 500 years old!
- Barrachina for delicious authentic Puerto Rican food including the famous mofongo
- St. Germain for a mid-day glass of wine and personal pizza
- Mezzanine - a rooftop bar with the most gracious waitstaff
- LUCA - a small boutique off one of the cobblestone streets that carries a curated selection of clothing, accessories and bags made and designed for the most part by local Puerto Rican artisans
