Description
This image is taken from the streets of Old San Juan, another city that I have visited 4 times and I fell in love with.
Blue cobblestones line up many old streets of the Old City of San Juan. These original cobblestones were cast from iron slag, which is the waste from iron smelting. They were brought as ballast in the bottoms of European merchant ships back in the 1700s. They were first used as road pavers in 1784. Unfortunately, beginning a couple years ago, the original uneven cobblestones are being replaced by modern paver stones.
Old San Juan is one of the world’s most unique places to visit, whether for business, vacation or Caribbean cruise. It is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
