Today we are going to talk about Río Grande. Río Grande Puerto Rico, that is. But before we do, let me tell you why this article is late. August has been a complicated month for me. I started by visiting my son on the mainland to celebrate the third birthday of my youngest grandson. Little did I know that I had Continue reading…
It was 11:00am on the morning of July 20, 2023. My wife Zory and I were standing in the middle of Virgilio Dávila Square in the little town of Toa Baja, Puerto Rico. There was something off about the place and at first I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then it hit me! Everything was reversed. The church was Continue reading…
Have you ever started your day on the wrong foot and ended up having a great time? Well, that’s exactly what happened to my wife and I when we visited Toa Alta, Puerto Rico.

When I was a post graduate student, in the Business Communications field, my writing professor Dr. Luis López Nieves, who later on ended up on my thesis committee, was famous for his writing projects. He would assign you some insipid subject and expect you to come up with a creative piece of writing. Well, Juncos Puerto Rico is such a place. Continue reading…
At Puerto Rico By GPS we started 2023 on a mission: “to visit all 78 municipalities in Puerto Rico (one every two weeks). The objective was to produce a video about each one and at least one blog post. In many cases we’ve written more than one. At that rate it should take us a little over 37 months to Continue reading…
Let’s face it, most tourists visit Puerto Rico for the beaches. And Puerto Rico has beaches all around it. After all, it’s an island. So from here on you can replace the word “destinations” with the word “beaches”. Now that we have that out of the way, let’s set another thing straight: “not all beaches in Puerto Rico have been Continue reading…
Twenty twenty-three has been a busy year at Puerto Rico By GPS. We started with an ambitious goal: “to visit all 78 municipalities in Puerto Rico to produce a video and however many blog posts were warranted for each township”.
