San Juan in Puerto Rico is known for its Spanish colonial architecture.Some of the entrances and doorways are so enchanting,that one can easily spend a lazy afternoon roaming the streets and soaking in all that the city has to offer.
Take a glimpse..

| I loved the sun-ray design in the turquoise blue colour! |
And now for the thrilling part...these door replicas are sold as souvenirs.I came to know about this through another
