I came across this great article titled, "Uptown in the Carribean". The article is a few years old so some parts of it may be a bit outdated, and it focuses mostly on the culture of food and entertainment, but I do recommend reading it. It paints a wonderful picture of the place you will be immersed in for a week from the smells of food to the domino games on the sidewalks! I was captivated by the imageries and descriptions and I could see the colors, smell the food, hear the rhythms of the musicians....
"When you emerge from the train, you'll find some big changes from wherever you got on: domino games dot the sidewalks; car stereos demonstrate the Doppler effect with reggaetón and bachata music; the price of plantains nose dives. And everything seems to be done a bit louder (and with a little more laughter)."
Read it!!!
