A vejigante is clown-like character in Puerto Rican festival celebrations. Traditional colors of the Vejigantes were black, red, white, and yellow. Today, vejigantes wear brightly colored, ornate masks of all colors and a costume with bat-like wings. The term vejigante derives from the word vejiga (bladder) and gigante (giant), due to custom of blowing up and painting cow bladders. Bystanders are often tapped with the bladders during the processional. The masks are often linked to many festivals that continue today, especially in Loíza and Ponce this mask was at exhibit in the gallery of The Tourism Headquarters of Puerto Rico .

Famous and loved by the locals.. I always go for a visit when I am in Old San Juan , Puerto Rico . this place is famous for only men attending yu :) woooooo hoo!.. AND for the mallorcas.. and a mallorca is simply puertto rican bread grilled .. while hot , they squish it and sprinkle powdered sugar on it.. and serve with fresh butter….. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. A Puerto Rican Sunday morning institution, La Bombonera offers huge mallorcas and other baked items. It’s a well-kept secret, however is its ability to prepare excellent meals consistently. La Bombonera attracts huge crowds on weekends. Be sure to try the Puerto Rican coffee. Housed in an historical building, this operation’s colonial décor provides for great atmosphere and a chance to mix and mingle with the locals.
I made this painstakingly .. for my people.. thanks for your views..

_Scanned From A photograph Taken by my Sister, who attended this beautiful event. / Edited and scanned into a 5120×3620 print. and here is the hat to wear:) designed by moi. / The Hat / Puerto Rcio Orgullo Hats and Ts at / justagal There’s no other Regatta quite like the Culebra International Regatta hosted on the offshore island of Culebra near Puerto Rico. The combination of top-notch boat racing and wonderful Caribbean-style parties with a picturesque island-paradise setting just cannot be beaten. If this sounds like your idea of a great time, make sure that you get to Puerto Rico to enjoy the 5th annual Culebra Heineken International Regatta. Puerto Rico is an island nation that deserves plenty of praise on its own merits, but it is the small offshore island of Culebra that gets all the praise during this great event. The island features ten square miles of stunning beaches and lush vegetation and it has become quite the sailboat racing hotspot in the northern Caribbean. * / The Culebra International Regatta’s various events have all been carefully planned so that shore-bound spectators can get in on as much of the action as possible. As part of the races some of the fleets will be expected to navigate their way around both Culebra and Culebrita – a small offshore island located east of Culebra – before making their way for the finish line. Even children have been included in the events, and the Culebra International Dinghy Regatta will see Optimist, Laser Radial and Laser races taking place in Ensenada Honda. _source information

we were walking and so was she.. I had just arrived to the island and headed straight for one of my favorite spots in the world :) / Old San Juan , Puerto rico . Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. / I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size / But when I start to tell them, / They think I’m telling lies. / I say, / It’s in the reach of my arms, / The span of my hips, / The stride of my step, / The curl of my lips. / I’m a woman / Phenomenally. / Phenomenal woman, / That’s me. I walk into a room / Just as cool as you please, / And to a man, / The fellows stand or / Fall down on their knees. / Then they swarm around me, / A hive of honey bees. / I say, / It’s the fire in my eyes, / And the flash of my teeth, / The swing in my waist, / And the joy in my feet. / I’m a woman Maya Angelou
Old San Juan Puerto Rico .. this place has such a great history .. so much beauty to see. and just to walk is such a pleasure. Walking westward from the marina, past Plaza de Hostos is San Juan’s most beautiful promenade, El Paseo de la Princesa. Originally created in 1853, the Paseo has been recently restored to its 19th century splendor. This broad brick boardwalk, enjoyed in the Spanish Colonial era by members of the gentry, now leads its visitors through a pleasant palm-lined paseo and sculptural showcase, into various gardens, and even a small restaurant. Midway through the walkway you’ll find the headquarters of Puerto Rico’s Tourism Company. Inaugurated in 1837 and known simply as ‘La Princesa’, this building served as provincial prison to over 200 inmates at any given time. Now restored, ‘La Princesa’ also houses exhibits of Puerto Rican art inside its mahogany doors and remarkable arcades. Grab a ‘piragua,’ a shaved-ice treat made with tropical fruit syrups and full of local flavor, before heading west to the end of the paseo’s main boardwalk. Here stands the Raíces or Roots Fountain, sculpted by Spanish artist Luis Sanguino. This magnificent bronze fountain celebrates Puerto Rico’s rich cultural diversity and historical heritage through representations of Amerindian, African, and Spanish peoples. Enjoy the lovely views of San Juan Bay as you continue your stroll, following the city wall until you reach La Puerta de San Juan* Video and map here on this place
