When Aron and I were in San Juan a couple weeks ago, we stumbled upon the most fabulous old shop. I was immediately drawn from the Fortaleza to doorstep of Olé by the sight of hand-crafted espadrille sandals (like the ones we’d brought home from Madrid), but as we wandered past the custom-fit hats (gorgeous), we found that the the store held many other treasures: Old post cards were displayed in antique, mechanical rotating racks; wooden caballero stirrups hung in one corner while old cameras and cartography tools rested in another. I wish we could have had more time to explore its depths. It’s definitely worth a stop if you ever find yourself in the city.
