Puerto Rico
Guayama
Named for their enduring superstitions, there are some enchanting cultural gems to be found in this oft-overlooked seaside city.
About
Founded by the Spanish in 1736, Guayama is often dismissed as an industrial city. However, its main square boasts a rich cultural core. The 19th-century Iglesia Católica San Antonio de Padua, the old city hall, historic theaters, and the beautiful Casa Cautiño are must-sees. This neoclassical house-museum showcases 19th-century art, sculptures, and locally crafted furniture. Literary fans should check out Casa y Museo del Poeta Luis Palés Matos, the former home of the poet who pioneered Afro-Antillian poetry. Guayama is also famous for La Casa de los Pastelillos, a spot where you can enjoy the island’s largest empanadas right on the beach.
