This elegant 17th-century cathedral rises majestically in the midst of Ponce.
Reviewed By JoeC7777 - Brookfield, United States
Lovely architecture displaying classic Spanish/Portuguese cathedral style. A beautiful, but clearly well used facility. Marvelous statuary and stained glass windows. Townspeople were just arrivng for a mass, but we were welcomed and were not made to feel like intruders. A holy place not to be missed if you’re visiting the area.

Ponce's main square has enough to keep you busy, from historical sites to boutiques.
Reviewed By 845dustinm - Denver, United States
Ponce's Plaza Las Delicias is one of those places where you can spend just a short amount of time if you want to quickly see its attractions such as the Parque de Bombas and the Lion Fountain or you could spend a little more time sitting under the trees' shade. It was especially enjoyable to sit on the bench and talking to friends and family members after dark while watching the colored lights illuminating the Lion Fountain's water.
10. La Guancha

La Guancha is one of the hottest hang out spots in Ponce, literally, it's right next to the beach. Take a trip to this boardwalk facing the Caribbean Sea to find an array of fun things to do. Start by having a meal at some of the kiosks turned restaurants, and then have a drink at one of the bars. You can also buy some seeds and feed the birds, fish, and pelicans that are always around the boardwalk grounds. Finish the visit by going up the Guancha Lighthouse and enjoying the view.

La Guancha had wonderful restaurants. I had a feast for a king with the best Chillo con Mofongo rico! I also had other wonderful appetizers and almost overate. The place IS very family friendly and saw innocent girls having fun just like at home. It was well lighted and had some areas you can look over the Ocean at night. Its a place to really be happy even if some of the noise is a little loud.
