Dining<br />
If you’re on the lookout for traditional Puerto<br />
Rican dishes, then it won’t be long before<br />
you’re tucking into a dish of mofongo. Made<br />
from mashed up and deep fried plantain,<br />
a type of large cooking banana, it can be<br />
stuffed with a range of delicious fillings<br />
including roasted pork or octopus.<br />
As you might expect from an island nation<br />
with a diverse population and society, the<br />
food on offer is a reflection of its reputation as a<br />
cultural melting pot. And thanks to the year-round<br />
good, balmy weather, dining al fresco is always on<br />
the menu.<br />
Accommodation<br />
If you want to stay in an old colonial-era building in the heart of San<br />
Juan old town, you can do it. If you want a luxury resort with on-site<br />
spa and world class restaurants, they’re there. Or, if you want, you can<br />
rent a luxury villa with its own stretch of private beach. Let’s just say<br />
that Puerto Rico isn’t short on beautiful places in which to hang your hat.<br />
