Let's Travel: Aguada, Puerto Rico

Hello again, 

I will finish a long day of road trip with this post. :) 

On the very same day, after Rio Camuy Cave Park (the post is here), Arecibo Observatory (post: here), and Heladeria Lares (post: here) we arrived at Aguada, the place where we spent the night. 

Aguada is a small seaside city with friendly people and many stray animals (mostly dogs, but also horses, cows, goats, etc.). Actually, at some point, it was really difficult to drive because of the dogs hanging out on the driveway. Well, animals are as relaxed as locals in Puerto Rico. :)

Our long road-trip route is marked on the map below: 

We arrived at our hotel (Columbus Hotel) around sunset time. The view was breathtaking.
It was a bit difficult to find the hotel as the name was not clearly marked and Google maps/GPS are not very reliable in this area. However, the restaurant ("Atlantis Restaurant") of this hotel is clearly marked, so you can use it as a landmark.

Hotel owner is a very decent person, he was quite helpful. I guess we were the only guests at the time, the hotel was very quiet. Rooms start right where the sea ends, luckily we had this amazing view from our balcony:

Plus, we get to sleep with the relaxing sound of waves.

When it was time  for dinner, we tried to rely on Yelp and Google maps to find good local restaurants around but most of the addresses were not accurate.
Thanks to my hubby's excellent navigation skills, we managed to dine at very good restaurants.
If you want to try good local food, your best bet will be Guayabo's Tropical Sunset Restaurant or El Galeon Restaurant.
We highly recommend both. Service, food, ambiance were all perfect.
Below is the view from El Galeon. After a while a horse walked by (alone) and said hello to diners. :) He was just having a casual evening stroll.

If you go to El Galeon, do not leave without trying their delicious Lobster Mofongo.

Hope you enjoyed this post. Next post will be on Rincon and diving. ;)
