The perfect set for a roadmovie:
Guayama is off the beaten tracks. In the time when sugar cane was king in Puerto Rico Guayama was a little kingdom, surrounded by precious fields and close to the sea where the ships would leave for distant harbours loaded with sweet gold.
|
Some fancy town houses still bear witness of those times. The people of Guayama wouldn't want to live in an outdoors architectural museum like the Ponceños for example. Only few colonial houses have been completely restored. But at least you'll see people living in them!
