Filter:

  • infinity pool
  • coconut mojitos
  • sushi
  • heated pool
  • beach

  • Get there early to snag a chair. Coconut mojitos are a must. Food is basic pool fare but will do in a pinch. Love the infinity pool that overlooks the main pool area.

  • pool gets packed by around 11am on the weekends but there’s always room on the beach. perfect spot to get a tan without sweating to death since there’s a constant breeze from the wind tunnel.

  • Terrible dj, who wants to listen to bad remixes- just enjoy the peaceful beautiful day! Everything else is great, love the pools!

  • This is the most beautiful pool I have ever been to! Adult only pool — huge bonus.

  • The service by the pool can be very slow and the drinks don’t have any alcohol in them. The suites tower pool is the way to go 15+ so no screaming kids!

  • Love the heated pools!! Best drink service as well!!!

  • Not a fan of heated pools when the weather is 80+ degrees, but love the infinity pools! Avoid the crowds & go to the pool by the suites.

  • No need to bring water down to the beach or pool…they have refreshing water stations

  • Cuddle up in a mini cabana by the pool!

  • Skip the melon sangria. It’s terrible. Other food and drinks are yummy.

  • Poolside service is terrible, if you want something plan on bringing it yourself

  • There are so many to choose from

  • Great #Sushi place 🙂

  • La infinity d la torre derecha esta super y es mas tranquila. La temperatura del agua d la piscina grande esta perfecta, calientita 🙂 estuvo d show.

A Hassle-Free Guide to Puerto Rico, America’s Isle of Enchantment

From the first time I landed in a place unlike my childhood New York home, I have adored travel. The thrill of a plane taking off; the taste of an unknown dish; the way a new city can seduce and delight…I even love airplane food. But even the most devoted wanderers have been tested during the pandemic. From the hassle (and confusion) of Covid regulations to the fear of being stuck out of the country, those of us with wanderlust have faced tough challenges. So I was thrilled to toss a few dresses and a bathing suit into my suitcase and head to Puerto Rico — no passport needed, a direct flight, and no testing required to get home. 

Beachfront adventures and relaxation plus a sophisticated dining scene (and fascinating architecture and history) make Puerto Rico the perfect trip for those of us seeking both excitement and escape.

Where to Stay In Puerto Rico

La Concha Resort

Texans have fabulous food and we have sunshine. But one thing we don’t have is aqua ocean waves crashing into white-sand beaches. The best beach in the Condado District is directly in front of La Concha Resort, so I booked a room. A buzzy lobby bar and lively resort pools made me start dancing before I even checked in. And no one seemed to mind. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lobby with so many happy, sun-kissed people sipping craft cocktails at lunchtime. Adding to the festive atmosphere, the TV show Fantasy Island is currently filming inside the resort, and I glimpsed both camera operators and stars throughout my stay. (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is also filming on the island.)

La Concha has just launched a brand-new Wellness Retreat package, and I was able to sample the luxurious offerings, from a “Cacao Soul Therapy” to beachfront “you-ga” to delectable and healthy meals. Guests who book the package, which includes oceanfront suites and spa services at the glorious Vanderbilt Hotel down the beach, share their dietary preferences and goals prior to arrival and once on the property, meet with the wellness manager, the vibrant Virna Flores, who makes sure they are well taken care of.  

 

RECOMMENDED READING

I’m a sucker for a Reese’s Book Club pick since she chose my novel, The Jetsetters, so I packed Olga Dies Dreaming, a novel about a wedding planner in New York wrestling with her Puerto Rican roots in the wake of Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico in 2017. Reading the novel helped me understand the lasting effects of the hurricane: although the Condado District seems completely restored, every Puerto Rican has a story to tell about how their lives have changed since the storm.

OFF THE BEACH

The Spoon Experience offers food and history tours in Old San Juan. I loved my day exploring walking along cobblestone streets learning about architecture and history, not to mention sampling local fresh juices and stewed pork at the colorful Deaverdura Fonda.

Puerto Rico Restaurants and Bars

1919 at Condado Vanderbilt

Be sure to ask for a tour of the historic Condado Vanderbilt and its art collection before dinner at its signature restaurant. The 1919 is romantic and luxurious, now offering a unique mocktail pairing with its multi-course tasting menu, which is crafted with local produce grown for flavor and nutrition. There’s nothing like a relaxed evening with beautiful food, and the 1919 is the spot for such an evening.

Solera

The delightful, poolside Solera serves up a tropical menu bursting with fresh fruits and vegetables. I am still dreaming about the Skirt Steak “Churrasco” with Cilantro Chimichurri and Yuca Fries and the Crispy Mavi Gazed Chicken.

Serafina

When you’re in the mood for coastal-inspired Italian food, the Puerto Rican outpost of the famed New York Serafina is the place to go. I ordered ravioli “degli innamorati,” heart-shaped lobster ravioli, and it was simply delicious.

Social 

Social is a chic, modern restaurant at the adults-only Condado Ocean Club. Overlooking the waves and designed by Nono Maldonado (who is from Mayagüez, PR) Social serves a modern, Puerto Rican-inspired menu. I especially loved the Bacalao (codfish) Croquettes and Chistorra Empanadas (goat cheese empanadas with a rum glaze). 

La Factoria

This bar in old San Juan has been named one of the “Fifty Best Bars in the World.” From the outside, it looks rustic, but inside, you’ll be wowed by the attention to craft—locals recommend the Hijos de Borinquen rum cocktail.

After three blissful days and a last sun-drenched morning on the beach, I zipped to the airport in minutes. That evening, when my plane landed back in Texas, my favorite travel emotion washed over me—the feeling that comes with a suitcase full of gifts for my family and stories to share. The best part of travel, after a long quarantine, is remembering how wonderful it is to be home.

MILITARY LITERATURE –[ Biographies] — Dams H.G. Francisco Franco. Soldier and head of state

Load of history

As a result of the abdications of Charles IV and the heir to the throne, Ferdinand (VII), committed under the pressure of Napoleon, Spain lost its strong unity (1808) {15}. Since then, there has been a sharp confrontation between the totality of traditional ideas and values, once again strengthened in the struggle against the French invasion, and the flow of new, revolutionary ideas. At a time when these two value systems served as a source of political arguments for various regions, parties and social groups, as well as for the two branches of a dynasty that was in a state of split, the world inside the country was hopelessly shaken.

During the war of liberation (1808-1814){16} the Cortes{17} in Cadiz gave the country a constitution in keeping with the spirit of the times (1812). While firmly anchoring the existence of royal power, it was based on the sovereignty of the people and thus consistently led to a division of forces. The deputies sought to introduce [15] general elections and create a system of representative responsibility. Of the old institutions {18} of Spain, the inquisition, the obligatory belonging to the guild {19} and all landlord privileges.

The king, who at that time was still in French exile {20}, declared his desire to follow the new state order. However, shortly after his return, he renounced this promise (1814). In this regard, a fierce dispute broke out between the liberal-minded exaltados (exaltados) and Ferdinand VII. Opponents of absolutism received support from trading cities open to meet world civilization, Masonic lodges and part of the officer corps. Behind the sovereign were many large landowners, as well as small peasants and artisans, and not least the church, including the Jesuit order, which was once expelled from Spain, and now has again received the right to exist.

Despite the fact that the balance of power seemed to be favorable for the crown, Ferdinand VII again found himself in a very difficult position. One fine day, the king even had to take a solemn oath to continue to rule only in accordance with the constitution (1822). True, after the French occupying troops freed him from such a difficult situation {21}, he also refused this promise (1823). Instead of making [16] a constructive compromise between the warring camps, acts of revenge followed from the side that won an undeserved victory. The hunt for exaltados and other liberals ended only with the death of the monarch (1833).

Soon new serious strife began. Ferdinand’s brother Don Carlos failed to seize the scepter in his hands, for Maria Cristina {22}, the fourth wife of the deceased, persuaded her husband before her death to amend the right of succession and. As regent for her minor daughter Isabella, the queen dowager, in dire need of political support, issued a decree partly meeting the aspirations of the liberals (1834). The latter, in the face of a compromising constitution, divided into two parties. The moderates (moderados) now supported the crown, while the radical wing (progressistas) continued to resist.

Prince Carlos rose against Maria Cristina. He found strong support in ecclesiastical circles, for the alienation of the landed property of the church was coming, and she propagated the opinion that liberalism would bring only misfortune to Spain and the Catholic faith. The rural population of the Basque provinces and the relatively wealthy peasants of Navarre, Aragon and Catalonia also feared the reduction of their original rights by the new central government, so they took up arms in support of the pretender to the throne. [17]

The First Carlist War (1834-1840) ended with an understanding between the supreme generals of both sides. Don Carlos was forced to go into exile. The peasants of the northern provinces received confirmation of their privileges. Numerous rebel leaders joined the regular army, which now hardly served the defense of the country, but rather degenerated into a heterogeneous {23} internal political factor that gave rise to military juntas and served to support the pronunciamentos {24}.

During the war, the struggle for the reorganization of the state continued. Troops in various regions rebelled and forced Maria Christina to convene a cabinet consisting of representatives of the Progressistas wing. The new constitution adopted in 1836–1837 could be considered a compromise between the old constitution (1812) and the Estatuto Real (Statute of the King) of 1834. It did not have any significant political weight. Further decisions were made almost exclusively by the military.

Sometimes in mutual confrontation, sometimes uniting with each other, generals Ramon Maria Narvaez, Baldomoro Espartero, José de la Concha, Francisco Serrano, Leopoldo O’Connell, Juan Prim and Prats, Arseno [18] Martinez Campos acted, taking the side then moderados, then progressistas or the liberal union.

Generals came to power by becoming favorites or as a result of a coup. They suppressed uprisings and repelled invasion attempts. Some of them drew Spain into foreign adventures. Others set up governments and amended the constitution. First of all, the military disposed of the throne. Thus, Maria Christina was sent into exile three times and returned twice (1840; 1843; 1847; 1854); }.

More turbulent years followed. The uprisings constantly kept the junta of liberal-minded generals on their toes. Amadeo of Savoy, with her support, was elected the Spanish king, abdicated already in 1873. The hastily proclaimed republic was threatened by waves of new rebellions. Five major cities declared themselves “cantons” and turned their weapons against Madrid. The Basque country, Navarre and Catalonia provided volunteer formations, equal in number to divisions, under the authority of the grandson of Don Carlos Sr., who led them to the Ebro.

The Second Carlist War (1872-1876) weakened the makeshift republic, swept it off the face of the earth pronunciamento (1874). Then [19] several generals united around Alfonso XII, the coming of age son of the exiled Queen Isabella II, won decisive victories over the Carlists and forced the young Don Carlos to flee. Spain became a constitutional monarchy (1876).

Alphonse XII died untimely at the age of 28 (1885), and this time the queen dowager was again appointed regent with her son, who was born after the death of his father-king. Meanwhile, Antonio Canovas del Castillo {26}, who adhered to liberal-conservative views, played an original game. He reached an agreement with the leader of the opposition, Parancedes, Mateo Sagasta, to convene the Cortes, so that a change of power between the two major parties could take place. Such a policy, although it did not affect the constitution, limited the free vote and gave free rein to corruption, but the result was some calm.

During the establishment of the two-party system (turismo), emissaries of various kinds brought new political ideas to Spain. Bakunin {28} promoted anarchism through the mouth of a certain Italian. Marx sent his son-in-law {29} to spread scientific socialism. Anarchists organized secret unions and small circles, and at times large federations. The Marxists founded the Partido Socialista Obrero de Espana (Spain’s Socialist Workers’ Party) and soon led the Union[20] General de Trabajadores (UGT), which was formed in 1888, the General Union of Workers (UGT), the general organization of trade unions.

All of this took place against the backdrop of extremely severe social disasters the consequences of the economic downturn. It began during the period of the French occupation regime and reached a critical low point during the first Carlist war. Since then, at certain points there has been a tendency towards some stabilization, but in the 19th century Spain did not manage to catch up with comparable European countries.

With such poverty and backwardness of the metropolis, all plans for the development of the colonies remained empty words. As a result of a long foreign occupation, Spain had already lost all Ibero-American possessions, and now the last islands left to her were eluding her: Cuba and Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines.

The role of factors outside Spain has again increased. Where investments were no longer within Spain’s reach, the dollar filled the void, and it was not difficult to predict which flag it would one day be protected by. The rest was completed by the mistakes of the Madrid government. In early 1895, the rebels unleashed major uprisings in Cuba and the Philippines, and New York newspapers paved the way for the United States to invade. Canovas, who did not realize the possible consequences of what was happening, was shot [21] by an anarchist (1897). Sagasta proudly responded to American intervention with a declaration of war (1898).

The ensuing defeat plunged the Spanish people into a deep shock. The nation very soon realized that it had lost its world significance, which was rooted in the mists of time, and was thrown back to the starting point. A group of writers, scientists and philosophers of various persuasions, who maintained contact with the great educator Francisco Giner de los Ríos and his Free Educational Institution, tried to shed light on the causes and consequences of the collapse.

The critical writings of the “Generation of 1898” made an impression primarily on the reading bourgeoisie, as well as on some circles of the clergy and large landowners, whose political representatives began to carry out long overdue social reforms, but soon the matter stalled. Since the assassination of Canovas and the death of Sagasta, there has been a process of fragmentation of both major parties, conservatives and liberals.

On the other hand, the labor movement was gaining momentum. The Socialist Party did not have a single deputy in parliament for a long time, but there were many of its members among the UGT. Meanwhile, both organizations were inundated with anarchists who were successfully carrying out their plans in Andalusia and Catalonia and were more active than ever in calling for violence. This was felt by myself, released at 1902 King Alphonse XIII, [22] who was under the guardianship of two assassination attempts using bombs.

When the government mobilized contingents of several military ages for military operations in Morocco, the anarchists and particularists of Catalonia unleashed a bloody revolt (1909){31}.
