This just popped up on my feed. I hope you had a chance to explore different parts of the island and not just the San Juan Metro area (tourist spots). You are walking through Santurce and Bebos is located on Calle Loiza. If you walk a few blocks to your right you're in Condado. I usually shop at that supermarket whenever I go to Puerto Rico and find the prices to be the same like here in NYC. Most of those places in that area are closed due to genetifrication, the economic situation, natural disasters and other contributring factors occurring on the island. I'm also Puerto Rican and know not to walk through certain areas in Santurce like you did. Thank you for sharing!

It has a lower crime rate than many mainland cities and countries. Homicide rates usually affect those involved in drug activities. Like any tourist, use your common sense, avoid wandering alone at night among other things, and ask locals which places to avoid. Many who have traveled here worried about crime, then go on saying... they felt safer than many other cities they have visited. The crime issue in P.R. reminds me of a local news story, in which this Puerto Rican retired couple leaves P.R. to vacation out of P.R. bc of crime rates in Island...when they got to their destination (Italy) man was stabbed and killed only hours after landing. Is P.R. 100% safe no, are we 100% unsafe no.
