Parque de las Palomas
Parque de las Palomas (End of Calle Cristo, Old San Juan) — Never have birds had it so good. The small, shaded park bordering Old San Juan’s Capilla del Cristo has a large stone wall with pigeonholes cut into it. Hundreds of palomas (pigeons) roost here, and the park is full of cooing local children chasing the well-fed birds. There’s a small kiosk where you can buy refreshments and bags of seed to feed the birds. Stop to enjoy the wide views over Paseo de la Princesa and the bay.
