Tucked away in the tranquil town of Guánica, Plaza Manuel Jiménez stands as a beacon of communal strength and cultural heritage. Guánica's history is deeply rooted in its pivotal role during the Spanish-American War of 1898, marking the site where American forces first made landfall. This event has etched Guánica into the annals of history, shaping its identity as a town of significant historical importance. Despite facing formidable challenges over the last two decades, including severe earthquakes, devastating hurricanes, and economic adversities, the spirit of Guánica's residents remains indefatigable. The community's dedication to rebuilding and revitalizing their town is nothing short of inspirational.

Plaza Manuel Jiménez embodies the resilience and vibrant culture of Guánica. It serves as a communal hub where history, culture, and the enduring spirit of the town's people converge. The plaza is not just a place to visit; it's a space where you can experience the heart and soul of Guánica, meet its resilient inhabitants, and witness their ongoing efforts to restore and enhance their beloved town.

Visiting the plaza and supporting the local economy by shopping at its surrounding stores is a tangible way to contribute to Guánica's recovery and resurgence. I urge everyone to explore this historic plaza, immerse themselves in the rich culture of Guánica, and aid in the town's revival. Your visit not only offers an opportunity to witness the beauty and resilience of Guánica but also supports a community determined to rise above the challenges it has faced. Discover the charm of the plaza and be a part of Guánica's journey toward a bright and...

El nombre de este pueblo deriva, según algunas autoridades, de la unión de tres raíces de la lengua indígena (Gua, ni, ca) que significan en conjunto he aquí un lugar con agua.

Este territorio era habitado por indios del cacicazgo de Agueybaná cuando Cristóbal de Sotomayor lo visitó y fundó el poblado de Villa Tavara, que no prosperó. Los ataques indígenas y más tarde de piratas retrasaron la formación de un pueblo en esta región. Guánica se desarrolló lentamente y para 1830 existía la aldea de Nuestra Señora del Socorro y San Vicente Ferrer de Guánica. El poblado continuó como barrio de San Germán hasta 1875, cuando pasó a ser barrio de Yauco. El municipio se fundó en el 1914, luego de varios años de intenso cabildeo.

La economía dependió por mucho tiempo de la caña de azúcar. Aquí operó la Central Guánica, el ingenio azucarero más grande de Puerto Rico y uno de los más grandes del mundo. Hoy la actividad económica más importante es el turismo. El Museo de Arte e Historia, la Hacienda Santa Rita y el poblado de Ensenada (con su arquitectura típica de las grandes plantaciones) son algunas de las atracciones de este municipio. El balneario de Caña Gorda, Playa Santa y la Isla Gilligan son visitadas por los amantes de la play; los que disfrutan la naturaleza visitarán el Bosque de Guánica, declarado Reserva Internacional de la Biosfera por la UNESCO. Este bosque es hábitat del sapo concho y de muchas otras especies autóctonas. A orillas de la carretera que lleva el balneario de Caña Gorda están las ruinas del antiguo faro español que guiaba la entrada a la bahía.

Pedro J. Vargas Rodríguez (escritor y músico), Víctor Sallaberry Safini (primer alcalde) y Domingo Suárez Cruz (líder cívico, escritor y torrero del Faro de Guánica) son guaniqueños destacados. El municipio también se conoce como los Jueyeros (por la pesca de jueyes o cangrejos, actividad que se celebra en un festival anual) y el Pueblo de las doce calles (por el conjunto de doce calles que en rectángulo forman el centro del pueblo). El renombre de Pueblo de la amistad deriva de la coexistencia en este territorio de diversas culturas a través de los siglos

•En el 1876 se puso la primera piedra del templo, pero por diversas razones no se construyó.

•La primera iglesia se construyó a las afueras del poblado poco después de 1888.

•La segunda iglesia se inauguró en el 1910. Fue de bloques con techo de cinc a dos aguas.

•La iglesia actual se inauguró en el 1953 y ha sido restaurada en...

This place had so many changes, that lost its original meaning. I understand that changes are needed, an update here and there. Many other plazas throughout the island have maintained their original structures, but this one has lost everything. 😢 its new structure is not what many in this town like or even care about, these ideas are executed by their past Mayors and their staff, and all they've done has turned them into destroyers of a...

La plaza es bastante espaciosa y muy bonita pero, como la gran mayoría de las plazas, la fuente o las piscinas rectangulares que debieran tener agua, estaban vacías y algo sucias. Pude ver fotos para cuando tenían el agua y se veían hermosas. Me gustó la silla para tirar fotos y lo tranquila que se siente la plaza. Si quieres saber un poco más de historia sobre este y otros lugares, visita mis redes F, I y Y/ TURISTEANDO CON SULLEY 🙂 🫰
