Mi inició en la vida. Allá fue donde tiré mis primeras piedras 🪨 y mi primer oficio pescando almejas y cocolias. En la Comunidad Las Mareas, Salinas PR. Qué vivencias tan puras. ♥️🇵🇷💯🙏💃
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.
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
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.

Thank you. I do my best.
Great video and information about my hometown of Salinas! Now, I live in Buena Vista, VA, still a Spanish name, comprende?🤗👏👏👏🇵🇷
Thank you. It’s a great town.
Interest history about the sugar cane industry. Did you consider stopping by Hacienda Los Maldonados? I consider it a must if visiting Salinas.
We did, but there’s only so much you can do in a day. Maybe in the future.
