Dating and finding love as an expat in Puerto Rico by Priscilla

Hello, With cultural barriers and different dating norms, finding love as an expat abroad can be exciting and challenging at the same time. Is it easy to meet other fellow single people in Puerto Rico? How do you go about meeting people ...

Are you serious??!! Haven't you seen West Side Story??!!! :D Read More

How do I pay a parking ticket? by mlb03

Hi all, I moved here in July and my husband managed to get a parking ticket shortly after arriving. I tried to pay it today by going to one of the places listed here: ...

Al

You need to take the ticket to any town's colecturia. That is where one pays tickets. Read More

Dating options in PR? by Oxmarqt

First off...Hello. At some point in the next few years I would like to purchase a 2nd home/Condo/whatever in Puerto Rico that will eventually become a main home. I prefer the West half of the Island but not locked into anything. I am currently ...

People are people, but honestly, this culture is so friendlier than most. Meeting people is easy. Read More

Go to your local post office and describe where you live. They will put you in touch with the local "hired carrier" who will give you an HC number to use as your address. Have done this twice here. Read More

Postal address vs physical address by MimiEv

Hello everyone! So we are moving next week but there are a few boxes we've decided to ship last minute via postal mail. I was given a physical address to the condo as well as a post office address that the realtor explained was for letters. But ...

Al

I've had the same experience and solution as Gary. Amazon cannot tell you how any one package will be sent, i.e. by UPS or US Mail, so fitting both physical address and p.o. box onto the address lines worked for me. It also helps to meet the ... Read More

Observations of 3 month visit by 35th

Rented a condo in Boquerón this Spring, 90 days. My base for exploration seeking RE purchase in SW PR. General observations, and my opinions, of the SW area, and western hilly or "mountain" areas NW--Lares, San Sebastian, Moca. Not ...

Al

I can agree with most of this. I don't think the roads are THAT bad though, but maybe I'm just accustomed to them now. I've seen worse ones in Kentucky. (But sounds like he's overpaying for his pinchos.) But the great sense of ... Read More

Believe the news or not by Jyee

Family here at home in CA are concerned about our move, especially with what the news shows about demonstrators etc.. Has anyone had any problems with pro Independence Party people ?

Al

Nope, never had politics enter into any interaction in 10 years. Maybe I'm oblivious, but it's never been an issue. Some of my friends ridicule the demonstrations, some join them, but it all seems to be less than 100% serious & with an ... Read More

Anyone want to start a Facebook group? by Karenqc

So...we have a handful of Rincon FB pages (the main one with 10k+!!) but nothing island wide. I'm noticing more and more of you gringos moving over here and thought maybe we should produce something. I can help maintain it, but I don't want ...

Publicos in West P.R. by muchmore

I'm extremely familiar with all forms of public transportation (including Publicos) in the San Juan metro area/N.E. quadrant. What are the differences in the Publico system in western & southern P.R. in comparison to the N.E.? Is there ...

Short answer, no. Read More

Beer in Western P.R. by muchmore

Ok. Getting down to the essentials. Where can a guy buy Miller High Life (you know...the great tasting full-bodied cheap beer in the gold can) in Western Puerto Rico....and as equally important...why and when did Medallia cans get so darned small?

Al

I might suggest Dylan's BierGarten in Hatillo. They have two locations, one in the campo attracts a slightly older crowd, decent munchies (& karaoke) but a fine selection of beers. Their in-town location attracts a younger, beachy crowd ... Read More
