Shopping
San Juan is a mecca for great shopping. Though not a duty-free zone, good deals can be found in the Old City – especially on gold, arts and crafts and clothes. Old San Juan also offers a mix of local shops and designer outlets. Outside the walls of the Old City, you will find even more places to spend your hard-earned dollars. The Condado area, for example, is quickly becoming the town’s upscale fashion district. Designers such as Louis Vuitton and Salvatore Ferragamo have set up stores along Ashford Avenue in Condado, giving trendy shoppers first dibs on their latest creations.
