    You have to go to old San Juan and check out the local merchants by the pier near the visitor center. Some of these have quite good prices and craftmanship, while others are rip-off. One of my favorite purchases is this leather name bracelet that was hand made. Total cost $5 with name. It costs 10$+ without name in NYC. Needeless to say, I brought several of these. I don't smoke but there was a merchant selling hand made cigars a block away for those of you that do.

    You can't help but admire the tapestry of colors painted on the buildings of Old San Juan. Even more interesting are the balconies - look at the intricate iron work / wood work.

    You definately need more than a day to see Old San Juan. We spent a day here and didn't see half of the things we wanted to see. I absolutely loved the pastels of the buildings.
