Spanish influence abounds, from the city's architecture to its building names. Visit the Spanish Quarter Village, the Government House Museum and the Spanish Military Hospital. The Village is a 9-building living history museum where people work as they would have in the 1800s. Cooks, blacksmiths and woodworkers fill the town. San Sebastian Winery is an excellent evening stop.
Beautiful beaches lie right outside the historical establishments.
