On to Quebradillas from Isabela..
This is part 2 of a 4 part series regarding the towns of the northwest coast of PR. Our first stop was Isabela. We left off by covering the old train tunnel where Rio Guajataca empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Though the tunnel and beach are on the Isabela side of the river, it’s actually much closer to Quebradillas.
On the Quebradillas side of the Guajataca River is a beautiful Parador with gorgeous views of the Atlantic Coast. We did not stop to check it out.
A word or two About Puerto Rico’s Paradores
Paradores are as close to Motels as ‘mainlanders’ will ever get, here on the island. There ARE a few motels, but they are used by the locals for ‘quickie getaways’. Paradores are more like country Inns with a tropical twist and can vary in size from quaint to massive. Many of them have pools, bars and restaurants.
They are privately owned, but must meet a certain set of requirements to receive Parador certification by the Government of Puerto Rico.
If you visit the See Puerto Rico Website’s Accommodations page, you may click on the Paradores category to see where some are located. All are outside of San Juan with most located on the west end of the island. [Read more…] about Quebradillas, The Pirate’s Hideout.. Arrg!
