Puerto Rico, A Wonderful Place To Visit

By William A. Butland


Puerto Rico has long been a territory of the United States, making it an easy trip for most Americans, with easy travel standards for Americans, not requiring a passport. Puerto Rico is a tremendously popular place for vacationers, especially with people in South Florida who can literally hop a plane and be there in a little over an hour. For years Puerto Rico has long been a place of excitement and intrigue, a fun place to go and have a good time and get a good sun-tan. There are many great hotels and a vast array of popular beaches there.

For years Puerto Rico has long been a place of excitement and intrigue, a fun place to go and have a good time and get a good sun-tan. There are many great hotels and a vast array of popular beaches there. Puerto Rico has long been a territory of the United States, making it an easy trip for most Americans, with easy travel standards for Americans, not requiring a passport.

One of the most incredible things about Puerto Rico is its location; it is situated between The Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Caribbean on the other, making for some of the most crystal clear water in the Caribbean region. According to popular travel magazines, some of the best beaches to frequent on the island are Ocean Park Beach, Luquillo Beach and Rincon Beach, the latter is especially good for winter surfers. When traveling to Puerto Rico, especially for the beaches, one must check to see which ones are family friendly and which are not, though there is no nudity allowed anywhere on the beaches of Puerto Rico.

One cannot deny the American influence on Puerto Rico, as I said, it has long been a territory of the United States, and some call it the fifty-first state. There has long been debate on this issue, something that remains unresolved to this day. There has been renewed talk of late, but when this might be taken up by the American government is a question that at the moment remains up in the air. The people of Puerto Rico by and large are quite eager to become that fifty-first star on our flag, and perhaps one day soon they will see that dream come to fruition.

One of the best things about the island of Puerto Rico is the food there, especially for lovers of Spanish and Caribbean cooking, you will find the best of both here! From Taco's to arroz compollo, you can find your favorite Spanish food here. Among the food selection in Puerto Rico, you will find many exotic spices and seasonings that add true flavor to the palette in Puerto Rico. Adobo mojado and adobo seco are some of the best of the blended seasonings you might find here, make sure you check them out. The influence one might find in the cooking of Puerto Rico comes from many continental destinations; the cuisine is influenced by Europeans, African and of course, South Americans. There is something wonderful for every taste.
