San Juan, Puerto Rico, has an interesting fort and a pretty township. I kept hearing 'America' from West Side Story playing in my head.
Once a giant Spanish Fort, San Juan resisted all comers, including the British, until the United States bombarded it from the sea, then landed a ground force and took it, as they did in Cuba and Hispaniola. Unlike those islands, the US has held it ever since, as it remained, until WW2, strategically key to the naval control of the Caribbean.
Now I'm hearing America again.
