If Dora­do weren’t called Dora­do, it would need to be called “Lin­do”. Why? Because it is! You see, the word “lin­do” means “pret­ty” in Span­ish, and that’s one thing that this town def­i­nite­ly is. Dora­do is the 12th small­est munic­i­pal­i­ty in Puer­to Rico and the 6th in terms of per capi­ta income. With that comes lots of finan­cial inequal­i­ty, but that’s Con­tin­ue reading…

Vega Alta, A Town About A Beach

Vega Alta is one of those towns that I hard­ly vis­it, unless I’m going to the beach. And even then, I don’t vis­it the beach —any beach— as much as I used to either. With that said, this week Zorai­da and I vis­it­ed the love­ly town of Vega Alta, on the cen­­tral-north­ern coast of Puer­to Rico. To us mere mor­tals Vega Con­tin­ue reading…

Corozal, Gateway To The Heart Of Puerto Rico

The oth­er day my wife and I vis­it­ed the lit­tle town of Corozal, Puer­to Rico. It’s a small town (2,601 inhab­i­tants) that sits almost at the geo­graph­i­cal heart of Puer­to Rico (that would be Oro­co­vis). The dri­ve to Corozal was easy. We took toll road PR-22 going west, got off on exit 22B towards road 165 going south, off again Con­tin­ue reading…

Barranquitas, Where Beauty and History Come Together 

Posted on

This week my wife and I vis­it­ed the town of Bar­ran­quitas, Puer­to Rico. It’s a small town that sits almost at the geo­graph­i­cal cen­ter of the main Island of Puer­to Rico. As you will recall from sev­er­al of my pre­vi­ous posts, Puer­to Rico is a group of islands but it’s not an arch­i­pel­ago. How can that be pos­si­ble? Aren’t they both Con­tin­ue reading…

This week my wife and I vis­it­ed the beau­ti­ful town of Aiboni­to, Puer­to Rico. We got to leave the noisy, stress­ful real­i­ty of urban liv­ing in the San Juan Metro­plex to enjoy the peace­ful beau­ty of Puer­to Rico’s coun­try­side; if only for a few hours. We arrived in Aiboni­to, a lit­tle over 8:30, on the morn­ing of Feb­ru­ary 26. It was Con­tin­ue reading…

Last Mon­day, Feb­ru­ary 12, my wife Zory and I vis­it­ed the town of Sali­nas, on the south­ern coast of Puer­to Rico to pro­duce this post and a 13 minute video. It was pour­ing cats and dogs when we left our home in San Juan. But by the time we got to Sali­nas we had a clear blue sky and and Con­tin­ue reading…

Puer­to Rico is a great place to write a trav­el blog. And if you’re cov­er­ing the town of Guaya­ma, it’s even bet­ter. Or is it? Last year was a great year at Puer­to Rico By GPS.

The oth­er day my wife and I vis­it­ed the town of Arroyo, Puer­to Rico. It’s a lit­tle town on the south­ern coast of the Island that was one of those that took the brunt of hur­ri­cane María six years ago. Like many oth­er towns in Puer­to Rico the destruc­tion caused by hur­ri­cane María is there for all to see. The destroyed Con­tin­ue reading…
