Sunday, January 21, 2007 - Playa Flamenco, Culebra - Spanish Virgin Island, Puerto Rico Not many people have heard about the Spanish Virgin Islands, which mostly consists of two archipelago groups of Culebra and Vieques. This is the very spot where the Greater and Lesser Antilles meet. Geographically, these islands should be considered as the U.S. Virgin Islands instead of Puerto Rico; C... Read Full Entry

Sunset in Culebra
Sunsets in the Caribbean is different. It is mostly described as 'purplish' instead of 'orange' or 'red'
Halef in Culebra 2007
Just in case you're wondering where I was in the past couple days.
Scooters
Scooters are the way to get around the island, if you're lazy. They are parked in front of the Aeropuerto Benjamin Rivera Noriega, Culebra.
Air Flamenco
This is the small Cesna we have to fly with, back from Culebra to Isla Grande in San Juan.
Culebra from above
This looks like Lisa Simpson, somehow.
Undeveloped island
Cayo Luis Peña island, one of islands in Culebra archipelago.
Waves are cool
Notice the white wave heads contrasting the blue ocean.
Ocean meets the land
A beautiful contast of land and sea.

I love Culebra also
I'm headed back to Culebra in a few weeks, so I do a search to see who has been there and to see if anything has changed. Apparently not! The only bad thing about going there is coming back -- re-entry to the rat race seems overwhelmingly pointless...

Thinking about going
My husband and I are looking for somewhere tropical to spend our 25th anniversary. We need somewhere affordable. We do not want anything touristy. Culebra was suggested. What do you think?

Culebra is the place to be
Joanie - I would highly recommend Culebra to visit on a budget and a 'real' Caribbean experience. That said, if your ideal anniversary is having a pampered accomodation in a high class resort (ie spas, drivers etc), your best bet is maybe St John in US Virgin Island or Bahamas, or Bermudas. Culebra is definitely a much slower pace place where you can have a beach by yourself, camping out by the shore for 10 bucks a night, and biking around the island in comfort. Simple roads with potholes, sleepy bars and restaurants with no set open hours, and not many cars. Not touristy, relatively not too expensive, especially if you bring your basic essentials and some food from mainland PR. Culebrenses still need to import many things from the mainland.

Not a Cessna!
As a Caribbean pilot I can't let the "Cessna" remark go un-commented. The airplane you travelled in was actually an old British airplane, the Britten-Norman Islander. It is almost standard-issue in the Caribbean because it gets into the tiny restricted airports with few problems. Its joy to be in the Caribbean (even the northern parts! :) but even more of a joy to fly for a living in the Caribbean.
