Aibonito, Puerto Rico’s Flower Capitol
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лип 2024
- This week my wife and I visited the town of Aibonito, flower capitol of Puerto Rico. We started at the beautiful San José Parish, that will be celebrating its 200th birthday in just a few weeks. Then we took a stroll around Segundo Ruiz Belvis Square and ended up at City Hall.
From there we visited the Old Tobacco Factory, where we bought an avocado the size of a large grapefruit. Not one of those teeny weeny “avocados from Mexico” that you see in the States. This one was huge!!!
After that we were off to the Casa Museo Federico Degetau, Puerto Rico’s first resident commissioner. To continue with the “museum vibe” we went to “Galería Vista Alegre”, a smaller museum that holds a beautiful painting collection donated by Dr. Jorge Luis Sanchez Colón.
At that point we left the center of town and drove to the Aibonito countryside to see “el reloj de flores”, a monumental floral clock that’s all the rage on the Island. Finally we visited the San Cristóbal Canyon area and ended the program with the Aibonito Flower Festival (el festival de las flores de Aibonito).
And just so you know, I’m well aware that the flower festival takes place in July. That’s why we visited then and saved the footage for now.

La Casa Museo Federico Degetau y el Patronato del Archivo Histórico de Aibonito agradecen la aportacion de tu trabajo para nuestro pueblo. La información a través de este canal viajara a otros lugares fuera de Puerto Rico, donde residen aiboniteños y sus familiares, recreando memorias en el tiempo. Una información de gran utilidad para el visitante.
Ese es el plan. Gracias por sus palabras de elogio. Pasen la voz.
Me alegro de escucharte bien Orlando.
Fuiste mi compañía en el trabajo por muchos años con tus podcast.
Un abrazo!
Gracias por tus palabras de encomio. Me alegro que te guste. Estoy cogiendo un descanso del podcast. Aquí me entretengo más.
It was either 2013 or 2014 when I went to PR on vacation, and specifically timed it to be in PR for the Flower Festival in Aibonito. My wife and mother-in-law love plants and flowers, so it seemed like it would be a perfect event to work into our trip to PR. I also took a guided tour into the Canyon about that time, which I really enjoyed. I didn't tour the Degetau Museum, but we did visit Piedra de Degetau Lookout, which provided great views of the city.
I hope you come back soon.
nice job as always,wepa
Thank you. I do my best.
