After that, explore the colourful, historic seaside neighbourhood of La Perla. You might recognise it from the music video for the hit song "Despacito".
Delve into history with Sir Francis Drake and his attempt to capture the island from the Spanish. Find out how his Spanish opponent, General Sancho, achieved victory despite being significantly outnumbered.
As you continue your stroll, you'll come across ancient walls and old gunpowder stores, which lead up to the magnificent Castillo San Felipe del Morro fortress.
Be sure to visit the Cuartel de Ballaja, which is now home to the Museum of the Americas.
