Vega Alta, A Town About A Beach 

Posted onLeave a comment

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 

Posted onLeave a comment

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

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. After being sort of dor­mant for a very long time, we decid­ed to “take the bull by the horns” and embark in a 3‑year project Con­tin­ue reading…

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…

Last week my wife and I vis­it­ed the town of Patil­las, on the south­east­ern coast of Puer­to Rico. It’s one of those small and sleepy towns that are best vis­it­ed in com­bi­na­tion with adja­cent munic­i­pal­i­ties. How­ev­er, we did dis­cov­er some gems that make this town unique and well worth the vis­it. I must admit that the words Green, Rocky & Cool Con­tin­ue reading…

Maunabo, Puerto Rico | A Tiny Town With Huge Possibilities

Maun­abo is one of those tiny towns in Puer­to Rico that still has the mag­ic of yes­ter­year. For many years it was one of the hard­est towns to get to because of its geo­graph­ic loca­tion. That cer­tain­ly put a damper on “progress”, but it also helped save the “mag­ic” of that sleepy Span­ish-style town that we all love. My wife and Con­tin­ue reading…

Yabucoa 6 Years After Hurricane María

It was the morn­ing of Sep­tem­ber 19, 2023. My wife Zory and I explored the lit­tle town of Yabu­coa, Puer­to Rico as part of or “5 Must-See Places” series on YouTube. It was sur­pris­ing to see how far this town has come from the dev­as­tat­ing events of Sep­tem­ber 20, 2017. Just 6 years ear­li­er Yabu­coa was the epi­cen­ter of one of Con­tin­ue reading…
