19 de noviembre 1493 en Puerto Rico
In honor of the 515th Aniversary of the Discovery of Puerto Rico (today), I’m posting a few pictures of my home town, San Juan, and also Culebra, my favorite little island of the northeast coast of Puerto Rico. I travelled home with a few friends last year and these are their pictures. I’ve also included a few interesting links to the history of Puerto Rico.

Also, since we close to the holidays, I’m posting my mother’s Christmas Coquito recipe.
Coquito is, somewhat, the Puerto Rican version of a Holiday eggnog… sort of.
