If you have some time to kill and you like the idea of saving $SS when it comes to buying clothes etc. then one option is to head west of San Juan, to the Premium Outlets at Barceloneta. . The drive west on Expressway 22 takes around 45 – 60mins (with one toll), but could be more depending on traffic. With it’s close proximity to Arecibo you could combine a trip with a visit to Arecibo Observatory or the Camuy Cave System.
