San Juan

San Juan Bautista es uno de los personajes más misteriosos de los Evangelios. A pesar de que su presencia en el escenario bíblico fue breve, dejó una marca indeleble en el Cristianismo. Todos los Evangelios empiezan con Juan, no con Jesús. Sabemos que fue él quien inició el sacramento del bautismo; sin embargo, ¿fue él [...]

En lo que era una visita de riesgo para Boca Juniors, el equipo de Carlos Ischia salió airoso, y logró un triunfo más que importante para quedar a dos puntos de los líderes Estudiantes de La Plata y Vélez. El Xeneize ganó 2 a 0, y los goles los hizo Martín Palermo. Ahora, el goleador quedó a un tanto de Pancho Varallo, máximo artillero de la historia del club. El primer tiempo fue muy parejo en cuanto al juego y las jugadas de peligro. Tanto San Martín de San Juan como Boca tuvieron muchas chances de convertir, pero el que concretó fue el Xeneize. A los cuatro minutos de arrancado el cotejo, Palermo aprovechó una pelota picando en el área, y de derecha, fusiló al arquero Medrán, que nada pudo hacer. En la segunda etapa, Boca jugó el mejor partido del campeonato. No lo dejó

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua offers up some pretty awesome, not overdone sunsets. The kind that make you stop for a few moments during your mad rush to do whatever and just look ... and let Mother Nature work her healing charms on your frazzled nerve endings.I have never seen the "green flash" sunsets that so many people talk about. I think if you have enough cocktails in the evenings, you could make the flash any colour you want it to be. But I understand this is a very real phenomena. The green flash, not the cocktails.San Juan del Sur has become a mecca for surfing over the last decade or so. Apparently the waves here are like no others in the world. I am finding that out about the whole of Nicaragua. There are places here that defy imagination. And are like no other places on ea

It's hard not to feel for San Juan Capistrano condo owners who recently bought properties, considering how fast prices have fallen.

Los Rios Historic District in San Juan Capistrano is the oldest neighborhood in California. The moment you step foot across the train tracks in San Juan Capistrano, you're transported back to another time. The entire area is filled with historic homes and businesses, and there are three original adobes that were housing for the workers who helped build the mission in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Oh, and don't miss the original iron jail cell that sits in the middle of town! The historic architecture in Los Rios makes for a great evening stroll, and there are lots of great restaurants and shops within a short walking distance. They also have a cool Ghost Tour with lots of haunted sites! I've been on it, and it's a lot of fun (and creepy!) walking around the neighborhood at night.Here are a few pictures from last weekend at Los Rios.Keep up with me... Subscribe to feed.

I just came back from a great weekend in La Union. I trooped to the San Juan Surf Resort with my brods and other surfer wannabes on Travel Factor's Surfvivor Surfing Tour. We left McDonald's El Pueblo at 12:30 a.m. on three vans loaded with surfing beginners. It was a coincidence that my China-ASEAN batchmate Carly and her friends were also going.I was so tired and sleepy, I slept all the way. The only thing I remember was the 4 a.m. breakfast stopover in Jollibee Urdaneta. We arrived in San Juan a little before 7 a.m. As soon as we got the keys to our room, we slept.Tikoy, the organizer, woke us up at about 9:30 a.m. to ask who wanted to join the first group. The may seem short, but the one hour lessons are exhausting. Some of us joined the first group while I took photos. I went for the second group later in the afternoon at 3 p.m.Training us was Luke Landrigan and his pool of locals who gave us one-on-one lessons. I was elated since I managed to stand up on the board this time aro

Aunque la constitución de Pasajes como municipio es relativamente reciente, el origen de los dos históricos distritos -San Juan y San Pedro- se remonta a las actas fundacionales tanto de la capital donostiarra como de la Villa de Fuenterrabía a las que pertenecían.Ambos núcleos fueron las bandas laterales de ambas Villas y testigos de una intensa actividad pesquera y naval -no podemos olvidar que fue en sus astilleros donde se construyeron innumerables navíos tanto para la pesca de altura como para conformar la Flota de la Corona Española-.Los afanes independentistas de San Juan y San Pedro, de Fuenterrabía y San Sebastián respectivamente, dieron sus frutos en 1770 para San Juan y en 1805 para San Pedro.Tras estos afanes, el fácil descubrir el interés de ambas poblaciones por lograr la jurisdicción sobre el puerto y la riqueza originada por su actividad tanto pesquera como comercial e industrial.Esta riqueza ha intervenido claramente en configurar a Pasajes como uno de los

Most people when they arrive in San Juan will either head off on their own to see the various sights or arrange to see them with a tour guide. There is a third option which I stumbled upon the other day, and that is to see the sights with a National Park Ranger. There are several tours available both in English and Spanish, unfortunately though, they are only available on certain days of the week. But, if you are here in San Juan on the days that the tours are offered, it might be worth checking them out. Note: for most of these tours there is a maximum of 30 people. The Fortification Walk: This is the tour if you would like to learn more about how the fortifications helped protect the Spaniards for over 350 years. The ranger will take you on a 2-3 mile walk through Old San Juan and the tour lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. The English tour takes place on Saturdays at 10am from the main plaza of San Cristóbal. The Spanish version of the tour takes place on Sundays at 10am from t

If you are considering a Caribbean cruise, no doubt your first search for a cruise is from Miami; after all it is one of the cruise ship capitals of the world. But if you are planning a Caribbean cruise you should seriously consider Puerto Rico as your starting point; here are my top 5 reasons why: 1. San Juan, Puerto Rico is already located in the Caribbean. By starting your cruise here, you have already saved the two day trip to the Caribbean that cruises from Miami or any of the other Florida ports take. (more…)

No suele poner sets de fotos que no sean mias en el blog, pero en esta ocasión creo que vale la pena. Navegando por Flicker, me he encontrado estas fotos de la noche de San Juan en A Coruña, en las que aparece la sesión de fuegos artificiales de las 12 de la noche...Creo que impresionante es el mejor adjetivo que puedo utilizar para definirla...

Desde luego una de las mejores noches de San Juan que he vivido. El ambiente en la Playa de Las Lapas (A Coruña) ha sido impresionante. Música, copas, buen ambiente... y una noche de lujo. ¿Que mas se puede pedir?...Ya estoy deseando que llegue la del año que viene..Y para muestra, las fotos de la noche:

Hoy para todos los que vivimos al norte del ecuador es la noche mas corta del año (en realidad fue el día 21 de este mes) , pero la tradición la asocia a la noche del 23 de Junio, conocida como la Noche de San Juan. Este simple acontecimiento natural es la base de celebraciones de muchas culturas en el plantea este día, cada una adaptada a las tradiciones y culturas propias, pero todas con el denominador común del asombro del hombre ante la contemplación de su entorno. Es el Alban Heruin para los celtas también llamado Coamhain, Mediosaminos, Là Fhéile Eoin, An Fhéill-Eoin, Gwyl Ifan, Golowan. “Muchos investigadores nos cuentan que Coamhain era la fiesta más importante de los celtas y también la de más derroche, puesto que se festejaba en una época de abundancia. Y la Diosa Madre, en su apariencia de Reina de la Abundancia se encuentra simbólicamente embarazada de una exuberante cosecha, mientras que el Dios Bel o Belenos, su esposo y fecundador, está en el ápic

Hoy damos la bienvenida al verano con la mágica noche de San Juan que llega con polémica hospitalaria.Este año mas que ningún otro, debes procurar no quemarte debido a la falta de cirujanos plásticos de guardia presencial en Carlos Haya.Solo un especialista estará de guardia localizada, en su casa y disponible por teléfono.La fiesta de San Juan,es una fiesta para quemar los malos sentimientos, aquí en Málaga es tradición lavarse la cara con agua del mar(así estarás más guapo), mojarte los pies(para purificarte) y como no disfrutar de las moragas.Bueno, ya sabes, disfrutala pero ten cuidado y no te quemes.

Parece que al final vamos a tener suerte (por una vez) con la noche de San Juan. A ultima hora de hoy el día empieza a abrir, y consultando la previsión para mañana anuncian buen tiempo...A ver si por lo menos disfrutamos por una vez de un San Juan sin lluvia!!!

Al final la gente pudo con las decisiones administrativas y tras siete años, San Juan vuelve a la playa de las Moreras. El diario 20minutos.es publicaba hoy lo siguiente: El alcalde de Valladolid en funciones, Francisco Javier León de la Riva, ha anunciado la decisión del Equipo de Gobierno de recuperar la celebración de la fiesta de San Juan, que tendrá lugar el sábado 23 de junio, en la playa de Las Moreras, después de que durante los últimos siete años los actos organizados por el Consistorio se hayan llevado a cabo en el Real de la Feria. Como ha destacado León de la Riva esta decisión de debe a la intención del Ayuntamiento de "reorganizar" la fiesta con una programación única en la Playa de Las Moreras de forma "coordinada y organizada" desde la administración municipal. De este modo, desde el Ayuntamiento se plantea la opción de "llenar de vida" esta zona desde primeras horas de la tarde del sábado 23 de junio hasta la madrugada d

We stopped off for a couple of days in San Juan, just two and a half hours from Mendoza by bus. It’s one of Argentina’s quietest regional capitals and it grew on me. It reminded me of La Plata, more of a large town than a city, quiet and peaceful. We spent our time walking around the streets and going to museums. I still can’t get used to the Argentine custom of closing shops down between 12noon and 5pm (outside of Buenos Aires) and reopening for the evening, in San Juan it seemed they take an extra hour off and it didn’t start to open up until 6pm. Also some of the museums we wanted to see were closed and I began to think of it as the Ciudad Cerrada (closed city).I first came to Argentina in July 2002, shortly after the economic crisis and the devaluation of the peso. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was surprised that there were few obvious outward signs of the crisis, that is people were still going to work, the subway was packed, rush hour traffic was horrendous and ev

The English pop duo Erasure (Vince Clarke and Andy Bell), will be playing live in Puerto Rico at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan on July 13. The concert is part of their world wide Light At The End Of The World Tour supporting their new album “Light At The End Of The World” For those of you who are not familiar with Erasure, they hit the UK pop scene back in 1985 with “Who Needs Love (Like That)”. They followed this with further hits through the 80’s and 90’s with: “Sometimes”, “Victim of Love”, “The Circus”, “Ship of Fools”, “A Little Respect”, “Stop!” and “Take a Chance On Me” to name just a few. Erasure were one of the biggest groups in the UK in the 80’s and 90’s. (more…)

If you have driven around San Juan and the surrounding area, you can not have missed the amount of construction that is taking place. There are construction sites for hotels, office buildings, as well as, residential complexes. As for the large residential projects that are currently underway or in the planning phase, the majority appear to be "high end' projects… In other words; lots of $$$ if you want to purchase an apartment in one of these projects.

I stumbled on this video today. It shows a great view of Paseo La Princesa in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The quality of the video is great and the images that you will see, will make you want to see this really beautiful walk in Old San Juan. I would recommend that you try to go here on a weekend, maybe late afternoon or early evening, as you may also get to experience local artists performing. Even if there are no performances, you will love the walk. Source
