Driving through a scenic, hilly road in Barrio Vaga.

  • 18.326015-66.4079151 Morovis Pueblo (downtown Morovis) (take PR-155 straight into the pueblo. In the pueblo PR-155 becomes a one-way street where if you make a right turn you will head down into the small, hilly streets towards the main recreational plaza.). See the historic Roman Catholic church, Spanish-style recreational plaza, and the municipal buildings surrounded by streets and shops.
    You can drive around the pueblo or park your car and walk around the square and into the plaza. The Spanish law, which regulated life in Puerto Rico in the early 19th century, stated the plaza’s purpose was for celebrations and festivities.
