W36DP
will serve the entire west coast of Puerto Rico, including
Mayagüez and Aguadilla.
Mayaguez is known as "La Sultana del Oeste"
(the sultana of the West). Founded in 1760 by Faustino
Martínez de Matos, Juan de Silva and Juan de
Aponte, Mayagüez is the fifth-largest city in
Puerto Rico, having a population of about 100,000,
and is considered one of the most important cities
in the island. It is located in the center of the
western coast about 2 hours by automobile from San
Juan. The city itself is centered around the impressive
Spanish-style Plaza Colon, a tribute to Christopher
Columbus, whose statue stands in the middle of the
square, surrounded by 16 bronze statues.
In addition, Mayagüez has become a major college
town because with the establishment of the UPRM, the
Eugenio Maria de Hostos Law School and the Pontiff
Catholic University of Puerto Rico.
In July 2007 Honeywell opened a customer support service
center for its aerospace and information technology
divisions in Mayaguez. Other industries, such as Lockheed
are expected to follow suit in 2008.
Aguadilla is known as "La Villa del Ojo de Agua"
(village of the eye of water) and derives its name
from a name given by the Indians "Guadilla or
Guadiya" which means garden.
Aguadilla is a city of almost 65,000 inhabitants (2000
census), located in the northwestern corner of the
island of Puerto Rico. It is located on PR 2, one
of the best freeways on the island, about twenty-five
minutes from Arecibo and twenty minutes from Mayaguez.
Aguadilla was for many years the home of Ramey Air
Force Base. Upon its closing, the former base airport
was converted into Aeropuerto Borinquen, one of the
most active commercial airports around the island.
Aguadilla attracts many tourists to its beautiful
beaches, including landmarks dating back to Spanish
times, and popular surfing beaches, including Crash
Boat, famous for its crystal clear waters, Gas Chambers,
and Wilderness. The Parque Acuático Las Cascadas,
a modern aquatic theme park, is the biggest in the
Caribbean and the "Merendero" offers a beautiful
view of the town's bay and the nearby Desecheo islet.
