Description

San Juan is a hub of history, heritage and culture which largely shaped its formation as a city. Traditionally named after St. John of the Mountain, pertaining to its patron saint St. John the Baptist, one of the city's most distinct attractions is its annual Wattah Wattah Festival or Basaan Festival (dousing of water) during the feast of the aforementioned saint. It is also the site of several historical points of interest, old Spanish colonial houses that show traces of old world grandeur, as well as a mix of both upscale and bargain retail finds and dining options.
