Puerto Rico's capital is renowned for its all-night partying, but a new municipal code is expected to change that.
San Juan Mayor Miguel Romero on Tuesday signed a new measure to prohibit alcohol sales after certain hours, saying he was "morally convinced" it was the right thing to do.
"The impression of San Juan is that anything goes," said Reinaldo Segurola, 71. "It's a mix between Disney and Las Vegas." Under the new code, businesses in San Juan can only serve or sell alcohol from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and up to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and on Sunday if Monday is a holiday.
Romero, the mayor, said the new code is needed to curb violence and noise, and that it would be revised every six months if necessary.
