Hands down our personal favorite coffee in the city, freshly harvested in the mountain town of Jayuya (highest elevation valley in the island) about 2 hours from San Juan. This place is centric to a lot of office buildings so expect to see the local city workforce sitting here to unwind and charge up.
You can also visit Hacienda San Pedro's local farm in Jayuya to experience the process of coffee harversting and planting. Just google Hacienda San Pedro Jayuya.

Build a team, rent a court and play some indoor soccer. Maybe some beach volleyball? Or tennis? Rent an outdoor space and hang after at the local bar. Yea, its drinking, but if you exercise right before it's healthier... I guess.

"Number 155 Tetuan Street in Old San Juan was the birthplace of Ramón Power y Giralt, the first Puerto Rican delegate to the Courts of Cádiz in Spain. The house was acquired in the late 18th Century by the Power y Giralt family, remaining under their property for many generations until the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico decided to buy and restore the property in 1989.
