A
Teatro La Perla
The stately, 1000-seat Teatro La Perla stages theatrical and musical performances. The columned entrance, designed by Calderoni, the father of Puerto Rico’s neoclassical style and designer of the Museo de la Música Puertorriqueña, was completed in the 1860s. It took 20 years to rebuild after the disastrous 1918 earthquake, but has since played a crucial role in the city’s performing arts world, only underscored by the construction of the Instituto de Musica Juan More Campos, a music conservatory, across the street.

Teatro José Jacinto Milanés
The wooden, 540-seat Teatro José Jacinto Milanés is a gorgeous venue dating from 1845 – making it one of Cuba’s oldest. It reopened in 2006 after a lengthy on-off renovation and, with its colorfully painted interiors and Spanish-style patio and cafe, is well worth a look.

Jamaica Conference Centre
The Jamaica Conference Centre was built in 1982 as the venue for meetings of the UN International Seabed Authority. It’s worth popping inside for a free guided tour, not least to admire the intriguing wicker-basket and bamboo ceilings and walls.

Theme Park
This theme park off Hwy 2 is a bit gimmicky and overpriced, though it does offer a tantalizing glimpse of the historic Arecibo lighthouse and provides enough diversions for kids to warrant a break on the long car journey east or west.
