When you brake the corozo the inside it’s really rich in flavor,it’s like the almond seed,delicious!

We spent 7 days and nights in Corozal last month (on a finca) and absolutely loved our time there!! This was our 3rd trip there from mainland US~ each time we visit a different area of the beautiful island! 💜 your videos!

All towns in PR.has in the center the same estructure catholic church,city hall and between the public square.

[@puertoricobygps]

It stems from our Spanish heritage. The Spanish, in turn, inherited it from Rome.

My memory of Corozal is some horseback riding that we did with a guy named Rafael Torres with PR4Less Tours. He took us horseback riding on trails, in rivers, and on the roads. The roads made it feel real PR style, since you often see that while in PR. The roads was the scary part, since you feel like the horses are gonna slip and fall. After watching several of your videos, I thought for sure you were Catholic, since the Catholic churches are always featured in your videos when visiting these towns.

I always visit the Catholic temples because Puerto Rico has a Catholic heritage. And,believe it or not, there are tourists that go around the world visiting old churches. Case in point: Rome, Seville, Toledo, Segovia, etc.

You forgot to go to El Rancho, and Muñeco.

[@puertoricobygps]

Thank you for your your suggestions. I didn’t forget el muñeco. I just didn’t know about it. That said, I was just watching a KZbin video about it and it looks like it’s out in the middle of nowhere. As for el Rancho, we generally don’t cover commercial concerns. Thanks again.

NO Puedo entender que llegas a Corozal, y ni siquiera te detuviste en ninguno de varios sitios y locales de buena gastronomía de Corozal. Corozal goza de buena cocina criolla, especialmente platos confeccionados con platano, y tambien frente a la plaza del pueblo, está El Gran Café, donde se confecciona la mejor sopa de platano de todo Puerto Rico. Pienso que no disfrutaste de Corozal, con sólo visitar dos o tres sitios.

As I recall, most of the key attractions were closed. I started this “vuelta” two years ago. At the time we approached mayors asking for help. The idea was to have them assign someone to show us around town. The response was a deafening silence. So, we decided to do what any regular tourist would do: drop by and report on our experience. Some people haven’t liked that, but others have confirmed our views.
