La Guancha Recreational and Cultural Complex in Ponce

The La Guancha Recreational and Cultural Complex is a sector located in barrio Playa in Ponce, Puerto Rico with family recreational and cultural facilities that opened on June 23, 1998. A highlight of the complex is La Guancha Boardwalk. It was developed during the administration of Mayor Rafael Cordero Santiago.

History

Originally La Guancha consisted of a road alongside a dike built close to the
easternmost shore of barrio Playa across Ponce Yacht Club. The
romantic area was frequented by families and sweethearts alike,
especially on weekends, for relaxion and bonding. During the
administration of Mayor Cordero, however, a number of facilities
were added to the La Guancha area at a cost of over $18 million,
developing it into a new recreational complex.

La Guancha | Tenerife

The municipality of La Guancha is located in the northern part of Tenerife, between the municipalities San Juan de la Rambla, Icod de los Vinos and La Orotava . It is located on slope of Teide and extends all the way to the sea, covering an area of ​​23.78 square kilometers. The main economic activity of La Guancha is the service sector, represented mainly by small shops, complementing the tourist offerings Puerto de la Cruz .

According to the legend, the municipality got its name in honor of a beautiful girl that the conquerors saw when she was drawing water from a spring into a clay pot. The captain fell in love with this girl and ordered his soldiers to capture her. But she preferred death to captivity and threw herself off the edge of the gorge. Plaza Fuente de la Guancha in the historic center of the municipality is named after her. This story is also reflected on the coat of arms of the municipality: it depicts two local women with clay jugs in their hands, and the inscription on the ribbon, made in gold letters, reads «Water and woman gave you a name» . The coat of arms also shows Teide and forests growing on the peaks La Guancha .
