Small Hotels near Cultural & Folklore Events

Even though you may think of Puerto Rico as the perfect destination for your Caribbean vacation, don't forget that there is rich cultural life throughout the island. 

Major museums can be found in San Juan, Santurce's new Art's District and Ponce.  Theatrical productions and musical events take place throughout the year in Old San Juan's historic Tapia Theatre, Santurce's 'Centro de Bellas Artes' and at theaters in Ponce and Mayaguez.

Virtually every town in Puerto Rico has their local festivals to honor the town's patron saint. Add to this all of the festivals to celebrate music, dance, artisans and local agricultural products such as coffee, bananas and plantains.

The Christmas season is almost one big cultural event with festivities in every corner of Puerto Rico. Please check each hotel's website for details and special packages to help celebrate the arts with us in Puerto Rico.
