  • Salinas is, without a doubt, the seafood capital of Puerto Rico (I’m biased). It was also one of Puerto Rico’s sugar cane capitals. But that was so “last century”. The food thing is RIGHT NOW!!!
    In this video we explore the “Nuestra Señora de la Monserrate” Parish, City Hall, “Las Delicias” square with its wonderful salt shakers, the Aguirre Sugar Cane plantation, el “Albergue Olímpico”, the “Monumento al Jíbaro”, “Las Tetas de Cayey” and -of course- the “Barrio La Playa” where you find the best seafood anywhere on the Island.

    M ancestor Jules Delannoy was one of its founders and my other ancestor Jose Brossard was in charge of the construction of the original church. Two of my Anglade uncles represented Guayama and Salinas in the Cámara de Representantes from 1932-34 and then 1952-1960

    I have 2 specific memories of Salinas. One was going from Carolina, where I was staying, to La Pista de Salinas back around 1990. It was back before GPS, and I felt accomplished making it there to see the races. The second memory was stopping to eat, while doing one of the "around the island in a day" drives. And yes, it was seafood.

    The "company towns" is new to me. I became aware of some details that made Puerto Rico seem like a "company island" for Domino Sugar Company under Charles Herbert Allen. There were some details of money conversion, and other injustices that I really didn't totally understand. This is probably a big part of why Pedro Albizu Campos came back to PR, instead of pursuing one of the many offers and opportunities that he had available to him. I imagine he came back to fight against this type of injustice.

      Not being a nationalist, I am not an expert on Pedro Albizu Campos and his work. However, I have always considered him a true blue Puerto Rican who wanted only the best for his people.
      There was a point when all Puerto Rico was basically a huge company town. I guess it could be considered the crudest form of colonialism. But hey, that’s what colonies are for: to exploit them.
      Much of the same still goes on today, albeit in more refined ways.

    Interest history about the sugar cane industry. Did you consider stopping by Hacienda Los Maldonados? I consider it a must if visiting Salinas.
