This sloping, many-angled plaza is at the eastern edge of one of San Juan's showcase promenades, Paseo de la Princesa. The 19th-century paseo was an esplanade where the Spanish colonial gentry once strolled while enjoying the balmy Caribbean air.
Towering royal palms shade the broad esplanade, now paved with brick. On the paseo's west side, overlooking the sea, a large bronze fountain, Raices (Roots), sculpted in 1992 by the
Spanish artist
Luís Sanguino, depicts the Amerindian, African, and Spanish origins of Puerto Rico as human figures, with dolphins cavorting at their feet.
Viewed from afar, the entire ensemble looks like a caravel being steered out to sea by dolphins. On the paseo's east side stand five allegorical pieces on the island's heritage sculpted by José Buscaglia in 1992. This work is said to symbolize the various epochs that Puerto Rico has undergone in the past 5 centuries -- from the coming of the Spanish conquistadores to the beginning of Puerto Rico's role as a U.S. protectorate.
A gazebo serves light seafood dishes, salads, and the island's famed rich coffee. Outdoor tables with umbrellas allow parents to keep an eye on their children, who may be enjoying the playground nearby. More than 20 trees were planted to shade the tables. Criollo dishes are also available from food carts with colored awnings.
Walk westward along Paseo de la Princesa, past heroic statues and manicured trees, until you reach:
