A nice little VFR flight over Puerto Rico and suitable weather. The starting point was the island of Vieques southeast of the large island. Aguadilla is located in the western part of the island of Puerto Rico.
The plane is the Cessna 177 Cardinal RG of Carenado.
It doesn't have to be heavy metal in order to have a pleasant and remarkable flight. . .

The old town of San Juan is a protected World Heritage Site

View of the city of San Juan. One can see very well the fortress of San Felipe del Moro, which guarded the entrance to the port in Spanish times, as well as La Fortaleza and the Castillo de San Cristobal.
You can also see Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport, former Naval Air Station Isla Grande.

Don't you love that strange gear retraction on the RG Cessnas :)

The RG variants have not been built for such a long time. Do you know why? Because the insurance companies hated those planes. Too many pilots have forgotten to extend the landing gear before landing. . . .
