Puerto Rico is one of the nicest places in the U.S. It is a cross-road between the old Spanish (Castilian) and the new American cultures. The island is mainly mountainous, yet it has some of the finest beaches anywhere. Some of the famous and unique things: The El Yunque Rainforest, the world's largest radio telescope in Arecibo (a big dish built into the mountain--you see that in movies), the karsh landscape, Phosphorescent Bay, and the largest castle (El Morro) in the Western Hemosphere. Other goodies are rum production (Don Q), sugar plantations, casinos and the friendliest people and wonderful food.
