Mayaguez Puerto Rico

20-21 December 2012

Dear Travellers,

I am situated at the center of Puerto Rico's west coast, the city of Mayaguez and its large deep harbor were chosen by the Spanish as a stronghold to protect a vital trade route throught the Mona Passage. Much of colonial Mayaguez was destroyed by a conflagration in 1841 and an earthquake and tsunami in 1918, yet the area around its elegant Plaza colon still has its charms - the wonderfully restored Teatro Yaguez and Catedral de Nuestra Senora de la Candelaria are each standouts.

See you there...

Rinell :-)
