El Condado

Condado is a highly urbanized beachfront resort, commercial, and residential district with various upscale hotels, restaurants, boutique shops, and condos in the barrio of Santurce in San Juan, the capital municipality of Puerto Rico. Located about 2 to 6 miles from the Old San Juan historic quarter, Isla Verde resort area, Hato Rey business center, and SJU airport, the district is centered around Ashford Avenue, which extends east–west for about 1.77 miles (2.85 km) from the Parque and Ocean Park residential areas to Dos Hermanos Bridge in San Juan Islet, where Old San Juan is situated. It is named after Count Pablo Ubarri, who built the San Juan Tramway, the first passenger steam and electric tramway in the main island operating from Old San Juan through Santurce to the Río Piedras district, in 1880.
