Wonderful post! My interested in Puerto Rico was piqued after reading a children’s book called Martina Finds a Shiny Coin by Yadhira Gonzalez-Taylor. It’s based in a tiny village called Borinquen and the vivid descriptions of the local culture make you feel like you are visiting the island. It’s a lovely story about being true to yourself. Thought I would share the recommendation for anyone interested in Puerto Rican picture books.

In reply to marie. Ah Marie the beaches alone are a beauty! I used to get off from work, and go straight to the beach. Just to simply sit there, listen to the waves, and relax!

In reply to Erin- The Usual Mayhem. Thank you Erin! There's so much to learn about Puerto Rico, and it's culture. Although colonized by the US, it still keeps it's on culture intact. (Well almost, because we do celebrate a lot of the US holidays).
