Explore Old San Juan: Sure, Old San Juan is about exploring cobbled streets and ramparts on foot, lingering in pastel-colored shops and eating ice cream in public squares. But San Juaneros move fast too (salsa music is proof), so I had to speed up to stay on schedule. Bike It: Zip through congested streets and narrow alleys of the Old City on a two-wheeled guided tour with Rent the Bicycle. Main sights like the Castillo de San Cristobal are on the itinerary, with insights from a local guide. Eat Well: I had a chance to meet Iron Chef contestant Robert Trevino and try his food. My favorite is his tapas spot, Bar Gitano, in the trendy Condado neighborhood. Padrón peppers and seafood paella go down easily with a smooth red sangria. Get There: A taxi from the airport to Old San Juan runs about $21. Extend your bike rental and pedal to Bar Gitano. | Photo By Zach Stovall
