Any events going on in Rincon, Puerto Rico from March 28-April 11?

I am going to Puerto Rico I will be in Rincon for the most part. Does anybody have any suggestions on things to do while I am out there. Would you happen to know of any events that will be going on during this time period?

Any events going on in Rincon, Puerto Rico from March 28-April 11?
Depends on what you like to do.





But Dec - March is supposed to be good for Whale watching. The Humpback whale migrates down here at this time. You are supposed to be able to get good views from the Rincon Lighthouse + I'm sure local boat owners will offer trips.





As for the San Juan area:





The month of March is the Condado Culinery Festival - local restaurants showcase their cusine.





March 30, 31 %26amp; April 1 you can see the Grammy Award winners Mana. They are a latin rock band from Mexico





There is also lots of other stuff to do:





If you get chance try to rent a car, that way you can see the sights on your terms and not on a set time frame with a group tour. Most people will know English, especially in the tourist areas, but trying your hand at speaking Spanish looks good.





If you do rent a car just bear in mind that driving is a little crazy, just keep your eyes on all your mirrors and you'll be fine.





Places to see.


Old San Juan - easily spend a few hours walking around here. It's a little hilly so maybe jump on the free trolley bus to El Morro (the fort) and work your way back down through the city. Plenty of places to eat and drink for all budgets. Try Breakfast at La Bombonera (one of the oldest establishments in the city)





El Yunque (rainforest) plus spend the afternoon at Luquillo Beach





Ponce on the South coast for more Puerto Rican architecture





Arecibo Observatory. The James Bond movie Golden Eye and also the Jodie Foster movie Contact were filmed there.





There is also this: Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve (Tel:787-722-5882). I have not been, but I would like to (it sounds a cool place to visit). You can have an escorted tour through the reserve on an electric trolley, but you have to book in advance.





There is plenty to do here. You might even want to consider a side trip to Vieques or Culebra (as I've heard the beaches are amazing)





Try the local food stands and just enjoy everything that the island has to offer.
