8San Juan, Puerto Rico
San Juan is the proof that you don’t need snow, gloves or scarves to have a truly authentic Christmas.
Christmas joys in Puerto Rico include bands playing salsa renditions of ‘Jingle Bells’, shopping for santos which are carved wooden saints and, last but not least, suckling-pig feasts.
Food and shopping are some of the most important reasons why year after year millions of tourists choose Puerto Rico as their winter holiday.
Puerto Rico is well known as a shopaholic’s destination of choice, and not just during Christmas.
Perhaps the #1 reason are the deals. A beachfront resort for under $100 a night is actually advantageous.
So get ready for parties, food, drinking, more parties and one final family celebration on January 6, Three Kinds Day.
