Both in equal.

There are no Puerto Rican diasporans where I live, so I'm not used to recognize their looks

But AFAIK, they are on average roughly 70% Iberian, 20% SSA and 10% Amerindian Taino, so Daddy Yankee would be more typical than Ricky Martin ?

Maybe more like Jennifer Lopez and Adam Rodriguez ?

When I think of Puerto Rico I think of some huge beach bar, no animals and no train stations.

People go around with flip-flops everywhere and Latin music is playing in the background, so much that you only notice their feet and not their faces.

Neither. The typical Puerto Rican stereotype in my mind has more SSA admixture but I suppose I’d pick Daddy Yankee over Ricky Martin

Actually neither. The man that always comes to my mind when I read or hear about Ricans is René Pérez from Calle 13. More stereotypical Rican type you won't find.

Both.

Most Puerto Ricans have the "ethnic look", but the island is pred-Euro and is not lacking on Spanish faces.

I would say a similar thing could be said for Brazil, more or less. Although switch Spanish around for Portuguese.
