streets of san juan antigua

san juan reminded me of habana, of course, but it was also very different---old san juan, or san juan antigua (antique san juan), is not as big as la habana vieja (old havana) and they seem to have different conceptions of their antiquity, but both are world heritage sites---san juan is in much better shape than havana---it's also not flat, like havana, and in fact ends in sheer walls down to the water in some places---but both of them have an excellent mixture of architecture, ranging from 16th century forts and cathedral to wonderful streets of 19th and 20th century residential and commercial buildings.
