One of the most popular attractions in all of Puerto Rico, visitors most often view El Morro from its entrance at the end of a sprawling green lawn. While that view is not to be missed, it’s also possible to check out the side of El Morro that faces the ocean from a trail at its base. In order to reach that point, start off at the Paseo de la Princesa and take a right at the large fountain. Go straight, pass the Puerta de San Juan (Doorway of San Juan), another structure built under Spanish-rule, and go down the trail that leads towards the open water, until you eventually see El Morro from the other side.
