Surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, where tropical fish swim to the shoreline, Puerto Rico is an island paradise. When the scorching sun sets, the Island of Enchantment becomes a cultural hotspot, with late-night bars and theaters packed to the doors. San Juan, Puerto Rico's biggest city, leads the pack when it comes to entertainment, while Bayamon and Carolina make worthy runners-up. With salsa clubs, sports, and opera, Puerto Rico sizzles until the early hours.
Puerto Rico's music scene fuses American beats with Caribbean influences. Puerto Rican pop - a blend of Latin rhythms - is just one of the genres that originates from this island. Classical music also thrives here. The Luis A. Ferre Performing Arts Center, located in San Juan, and Teatro Yaguez, situated in Mayaguez, are two popular venues for opera.
Since 1956, Casals Festival in San Juan has celebrated the classical musician Pablo Casals. In recent years, more music festivals have sprung up in Puerto Rico. Electric Daisy Carnival now hosts an offshoot of its Las Vegas-based dance celebration on the island. Every year, Puerto Rico festival tickets sell out fast!
Puerto Rico also has several sports teams. These include the national soccer team, who plays at Juan Ramon Loubriel Stadium in Bayamon.
Puerto Rico is a great place to watch a pop concert or catch a soccer game. Some of the top venues on the island include Jose Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, the biggest indoor arena in Puerto Rico, and Hiram Bithorn Stadium.
