After we leave San Juan the traffic eases and we can enjoy the views more as we drive towards Luquillo where we plan to eat lunch at one of the well known Luquillo kiosks close to the highways. The weather is cloudy however no rain yet when we arrive in Luquillo so we walk around searching for the most interesting offer.
Many of the kiosks are closed but still we find one that has a few interesting things on offer, such as alcapurrias (fritters typically made from green plantain and filled with meat) and arepas (deep fried fritters of cornmeal mixed with mashed yuca root stuffed with a roster of fillings including beef, chicken or shrimp), and take a sampling of them. Everything here is fried so it is difficult to distinguish between the different foods but they are good and eating inside the kiosk with a few locals is also a cool experience.
As we exit we notice a bird that is actually waiting on our car for food and is not happy when we have to shoo him away. We then try to access the beach in the back of the kiosks, unfortunately there is a lot of trash there so we decide to leave the beach for later.
