Whether you are a frequent visitor to Puerto Rico or planning to visit for the first time, you will want to experience all that the city has to offer. It is well known that it is great for surfing, beaches, a unique culture and nightlife. But if you would like a more personal experience, perhaps you would like to experience life in a Parador.
A Parador or hostels is a reference to a small country inn. In order to encourage tourism, the city has a government program where people can include their places of stay. Of course, they will have to be of good quality and have a good acceptance rate. Typically, these estancias are located very close to popular attractions or historical sites. If you are also looking for a traditional food dining experience, then you also have the option to choose those places. You can easily have a Mesón Gastronomico in the hotel where you stay.
The best way to recognize a Parador is by its appearance, Taino grass that will be located in the labels as well as in the logos of these different Paradores. Your stay will be truly incomplete without a visit to one of these. This stay system was first initiated by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company in 1973 and was influenced by a similar program established in Spain. If you’re nervous about the number of Paradores on offer, here are some areas you can look into.
Mayagüez is the town that is home to the only zoo on the island and is also home to one of the largest universities in Puerto Rico and is located on the west side of the island. You could also search for an ideal hostel that will be located between a cafe and a sugar plantation. You will find this type on the southeast coast of the island. Look out from the start of a scenic road and you’re sure to get some mesmerizing views of the island. On the shore, a few minutes from the bioluminescent bay, there is another sport to watch. It has a number of tours and attractions to look forward to.
These are some places in Puerto Rico that you can visit and be sure that you will have a great time being here for the rest of your tour.
