Subject: What are Paradores Puertorrique~nos?

   Paradores Puertorrique~nos (Puerto Rican Country Inns) is  (officially)
   an  organization  sponsored  by  the  Puerto Rico Tourism Company  that 
   promotes the use of the "paradores" around the island.  The "paradores"
   are inexpensive compared  to the hotels and  are located outside of the 
   San Juan Metropolitan Area.  If you need  more information you can call 
   721-2884 in San Juan, 1-800-981-7575 outside the  San Juan Metropolitan 
   Area  or  1-800-443-0266  from  the  USA.  You  can  also  contact them 
   individually.   See  "Where to stay in Puerto Rico?"  for   the   phone 
   numbers and locations of the Paradores (they are marked  with *).

   In Puerto Rico  we  celebrate  many  festivities  during  the  year  in 
   different towns.  Examples  of  those festivities are:  Festival de las
