We will be on Culebra July 19-26 and Vieques July 26- August 2. Will there be any holidays celebrated by PR while we are there. When we were there for 2 weeks in 2006, we were there for 2 holiday weekends and it was wild. We were on the big island at the time. Wanting to know what to expect this trip. TIA

Thanks Deb. I saw that Fiestas Patronales de Nuestra Sra del Carmen was in late July, but unable to find the actual date and how this is celebrated. I read somewhere there were parades etc for this holiday.

Hmm. I don't know about that one. I avoid going there in July altogether. There are just too many people on Culebra for me during holiday weeks/weekends. That said, we always go for New Year's, but it always clears out after January 6th (Three Kings Day), so we get some "alone" time - LOL!

Happy Diving!

Debbie, the last two years I've gone right after Jan 6, and you're so right about how great it is.

This year we're thinking of going before Christmas, say from the 10th thru 20th.

Or perhaps in mid-Nov, before Thanksgiving week.

Are those good times to go, too?

Mort,

I've done Thanksgiving week itself - wasn't too crowded at all - but have not done the exact dates you are thinking of. That said, I think high season starts right at Christmas and runs through Easter. MJ will know better than I.

Happy Diving!
Debbie

Hola! We were at Culebra after the July 4 weekend and it was great. Very few people at the beach considering it was high season for the locals. Only a handful of people at Carlos Rosario. There are probably more people on the weekends though. Might not be too bad since school on the island usually starts the first week of August and everyone's stopped vacationing. Go for it! Happy Travels Vicki! J
