I always drove by Cayey but never stopped. Thanks for the video.

That was my first time there and it was a good experience.

@@ysanchez7292 I don't know for sure, it was a random pic I got off the internet years ago. I just did a quick search and someone say's it was photoshopped and not actually painted or dyed. There are people out there who actually dye animals with non toxic dye I've seen tons of pics on goggle. A quick search will bring up tons of stuff if you want to check it out. 🤗 XOXOX

Anibal, that hotel was really nice. I love the old classic look of it and best of all, it was right there in front of the plaza. The building was built in 1882 but just recently became a hotel.

¡CAYEY! I spent most my teenage life there, there use to be a lot of people en el pueblo but since they build a shopping lot its peaceful. The plaza has been in construction for a long time.The drive from cayey to Salinas is Beautiful!!! I also lived in Salinas, You didn't stop at the rest stop to see el monumento del Jíbaro??? Around there is El árbol solitario where people take pic on the swing. Haden has gone it's a hike.

[@oviduran]

Yoyo, Cayey is a nice place and I will return again, especially to visit the lechoneras in Guavate. Yes, I did stop by the Jibaro monument on the highway, but it was closed and nowhere to park. So I left. I was really looking forward to seeing it up close and flying the drone around it. I do know where it is and will try it again. I didn't know about the arbol solitario so next time I will make it a trip to visit all these nice places.

[@LifeOnAYoYo]

YES!!! Las lechoneras de guavate!!! I recomend lechoneras los amigos, and for chicken pollos beatriz this is open only in the weekend I always go to these 2. 🤤

[@LS-ti1rz]

Wow Ovi you stood at the Casino Hotel in Ponce, nice. When I was there we stood at the Belgia hotel right up the street from the one you stayed at. The Belgia if I'm saying right? Is a very old boutique style hotel, it was so damn awesome. it was very reasonably priced too. We stood there because my Mom and most of my family is from Penuelas and it's just a short ride to Penuelas from Ponce. When.we went the Fountains unfortunately we're off because there was a major water shortage on the Island especially the Northern part of the Island but all the Island was doing their part to conserve water. The Firehouse is insane, lol. I never seen anything like it but very cool. The colors are so vibrant it makes everything seem more lively, that's one of the things I love about the Caribbean islands the house are so brightly colored and vary from pinks to blues, to greens and peach colors etc you name it the color is their and it somehow looks nice. I was hoping you were able to take a little trip to Penuelas to see to Plaza and the surrounding area their, Im so very proud of that little town, it's know as Capital de Guirro. they also are known for making cuatros guitars there. Man, how I miss this Island. Ovi you gotta tell me your secret on how your able to afford taking trips to PR so often, please let me in on your secret, I won't tell no one I swear, lol.. Thanks for your videos they are AWESOME and your dad's music fills my jibaro heart with joy, Gid bless you Ovi and your family!! I'll be waiting to hear that secret, ok??? lol... Godspeed!!!?

[@oviduran]

Louis, I saw the Hotel Belgica. It was on the other side of the same block just past the Cathedral. It sounds like another cool hotel to stay in. The fountains were on when I was there and I show them on the next video this coming Wednesday. About Peñuelas, you are in luck. I did visit Peñuelas the next day and you will be able to see it next Saturday. Editing that video now. This Wednesday I will show La Guancha. But I think you will like Peñuelas. How can I afford to visit the island so much? Well, that wasn't the case not too long ago. But now...

[@oviduran]

Maribel, on that day I was super tired and just didn't have the time. However, now I have an excuse to go back to eat some lechon. It did rain in Ponce that day for quite a while after I got there. I really enjoyed it there. The video on Wednesday I go to La Guancha. Saludos.

[@JV-tk3nn]

Thanks, Ovi, for this video. It is nice to see my beautiful town of Cayey again after so many years in diaspora. FYI: The damage to the Plaza of Cayey was not due to hurricane Maria, it was caused by hurricane Rolando many years ago and it's a shame that the place is still in disrepair after all these years. Did you stop by the Museo de la Música Cayeyana? Also, don't forget to visit the famous lechoneras of Guavate before you leave PR. Saludos!

[@oviduran]

I wasn't aware. Couldn't stop in Guavate this time but it's on my list of future stops. I've already left and am editing all videos now, but I will return. Saludos.

Nora, you are asking the wrong person. Lol. Why? Because if I have to choose, I would pick a mountain home in San Sebastian or Lares away from any civilization. Believe me, they do exist. I will be showing this type of home and farm in my upcoming Jibarito video. But this could be a major problem for people that want to go shopping or to the beach. Depends what you want, but there are many excellent choices that you can pick from.
