San Juan
San Juan — Old San Juan, Condado, Santurce, Miramar
San Juan is where most visitors land, sleep, and start planning. The city reads differently by neighborhood: Old San Juan (Viejo San Juan) is the 500-year-old walled city with El Morro and San Cristóbal, food-and-history density, and the cruise-ship crowd by day. Condado runs along the beach with high-end hotels, fine dining, and a concentration of licensed dispensaries. Santurce is the art-and-music heart — La Placita de Santurce nightlife, gallery walks, salsa venues. Miramar sits between them with quieter fine-dining and waterfront hotels. This pillar breaks down each neighborhood with medical-cannabis-aware itineraries: where to eat, where to sleep, which dispensaries are walkable, and the compliance-honest rule that consumption in public spaces (including hotel balconies unless the hotel specifically allows it) is restricted.
