FUNDACION
Culebra fue fundado en el año 1879.
ORIGEN
Fue llamado San Ildefonso de la Culebra en Honor al Obispo Español de ese nombre. Por su nombre tan largo solamente Culebra.
PATRON DEL PUEBLO
Nuestra Señora de la Virgen del Carmen
COGNOMENTO
Isla Pasaje, Isla de San Ildefonso, Isla Chiquita.
GENTILICIO
culebrenses
Culebra se caracteriza por ser una isla municipio. Está localizada al este de Puerto Rico, separada por el Pasaje de Vieques. Su territorio se extiende a lo largo de 26.49 kilómetros cuadrados (10.23 millas²). Anteriormente era conocida como San Ildefonso –en alusión a su antiguo nombre— y como “la isla del Pasaje”. También, se le conoce como “la cuna del sol borincano”, “la isla chiquita”, “la última Virgen” y “la isla municipio”. Según el censo de 2000, su población general era de 1,868 culebrenses. Su territorio se organiza en los siguientes barrios: Culebra pueblo: los vecinos interesados en fundar un pueblo debían otorgarle el poder a una o más personas que los representarían ante el gobernador y vice-patrono real.
Esta persona podía autorizar la fundación y la constitución de una parroquia. Los poderdantes debían ser mayoría en un territorio y mayor de diez. Una vez promovido el expediente el gobernador designaba un capitán poblador que tendría la representación de los vecinos y uno o más delegados generalmente miembros de los cabildos vecinos para que recibieran las pruebas. Se debía probar que el vecindario se encontraba muy alejado de la iglesia por lo que ha sus pobladores se les hacía difícil recibir los sacramentos y los servicios municipales. Generalmente se demostraba la ausencia de caminos o puentes o el mal estado de los existentes. Si era aprobada la solicitud exigía a los vecinos que deslindara el territorio del nuevo municipio y construyera ciertas obras municipales que incluían: una iglesia y casa del cura, la Casa del Rey, una carnicería, cercar un área para cementerio y reservar terrenos para la plaza y ejidos. Se esperaba que los vecinos cubrieran la construcción de estas obras mediante derramas.
Usualmente algún propietario donaba los terrenos necesarios para la fundación. Una vez satisfechas las exigencias el gobernador autorizaba la fundación y la creación de una parroquia y designaba un teniente de guerra que era generalmente el mismo capitán poblador., Flamenco, Fraile, Playa Sardinas I, Playa Sardinas II y San Isidro. Tiene una ciudad capital conocida como Dewey. Su patrona es la Virgen del Carmen, cuya fiesta se celebra alrededor del 16 de julio. Otras actividades importantes son los torneos, las fiestas deportivas y el festival de artesanías en los meses de agosto, septiembre y noviembre. Para llegar hasta la isla municipio existe un pequeño aeropuerto y un sistema de transportación marítima que toca su puerto varias veces al día.
Culebra posee algunas de las más hermosas playas del mar Caribe. Algunas de ellas cuentan con arrecifes de coral. Además, tiene como atractivos turísticos la bahía bioluminiscente en La Pelada, el faro en la Isla Culebrita y el Pueblo Español.
El sector Punta Molinos fue declarado refugio de vida silvestre como Santuario Nacional de Aves por el presidente Teodoro Roosevelt en 1909. Sus ingresos económicos provienen de una fábrica de instrumentos científicos, al igual que del turismo, en especial, el ecoturismo. También tiene actividad ganadera y pesquera. La agricultura es escasa ya que la tierra es muy árida.
Geografía
Culebra queda 22.5 millas náuticas al este del puerto de Fajardo. Comparte sus costas con el océano Atlántico. Está rodeada por pequeñas islas y cayos. Al norte se encuentran los cayos: Geniquí, Ballena, Tiburón, Sombrero, Matojo, Norte, Alcarraza, Los Gemelos, Colorado y la Piedra Stevens. Al este, la Isla Culebrita, los cayos Botella, La Pelá y La Pelaíta. Al oeste, los cayos: Luis Peña, del Agua, Yerba, Ratón, Lobo, Lobito y El Mono. Al centro, Cayo Pirata y Cayo Verde. Su composición es totalmente volcánica, lo que hace que su terreno sea árido. En su topografía predominan las elevaciones bajas, siendo sus elevaciones más altas el Monte Resaca con 623 pies (190 metros), el Cerro Balcón con 541 pies (165 metros) y el Cerro de Luis Peña con 443 pies (135 metros) sobre el nivel del mar.
El municipio cuenta con uno de los pocos bosques secos subtropicales que quedan en Puerto Rico. Ubicado en el Monte Resaca, forma parte del Refugio de Vida Silvestre de Culebra. También tiene bosques espinosos, arboledas de cupey y jaguey, palmas, asociaciones de arbustos y cactus donde habitan varias especies de aves y reptiles.
Otras áreas son sus manglares que forman un hábitat único y esencial para la vida silvestre de la costa, en particular, para el pelícano pardo, especie que se encuentra en peligro de extinción. Los manglares abarcan una superficie de 26 hectáreas en la que predominan los mangles colorado, negro y blanco. Estos manglares son de borde y de cuenca. Entre ellos se destaca Puerto del Manglar ya que preserva la bahía bioluminiscente y, además, sirve de filtro pues reduce los sedimentos que son arrastrados por las escorrentías de los terrenos contiguos. Por otro lado, el sistema hidrográfico insular se compone de lagunas o albuferas. éstas son: Cornelio, Flamenco y Zoni o Soní, ubicadas entre los barrios de Flamenco y San Isidro.
Así mismo, en la isla de Culebrita se encuentra la Laguna de Molino.

Zamora
You should definitely go on this trip. And even very much! You will get acquainted with the province of Zamora, which is part of the autonomous community of Castile-Leon and is located in the interior of Spain. This is a small province, but there is something to see here. You will even think that one week will not be enough. Get ready to hear wolves howl, see yourself reflected in a huge glacial lake or a river flowing between 200-meter rocky walls, and photograph more examples of Romanesque art than any other similar area in the world.
Here are 10 of the most compelling benefits of Zamora. nine0003

You will see the cathedral church of Santa Maria la Mayor in Toro and the famous portico of the Majesty, learn about the court intrigues of the castle of Puebla de Sanabria, visit the amazing medieval monastery of Santa Maria de Moreruela, the churches and the Parador de Benavente hotel.

10 Breathtaking scenery
These sceneries are so breathtaking that we recommend holding your camera tight.
Here are four natural sites that you should definitely visit. Firstly, Arribes del Duero is a canyon formed by the Duero River, along which you can go on a boat trip. The height of its walls exceeds 200 meters, and in some places reaches 400. Further, this is Lake Sanabria – the largest lake of glacial origin on the Iberian Peninsula. Legend has it that on Midsummer Night (San Juan), June 23, here you can hear the bells of the village, which was under the waters of the lake. Also the Villafafila lagoons, where thousands of migratory birds stop, and the Sierra de la Culebra mountain range, home to the largest population of wolves in Spain. nine0003Ceramics from the city of Pereruela Zamora
10Craftsmen’s land
How nice it is to bring home souvenirs from your travels. There are many places in Zamora where you can buy original souvenirs, but we especially recommend that you visit the following three places. The city of Moveros keeps its ancient pottery traditions.
Here you will find botijo earthenware jugs, casuela earthenware pots and the most unusual product, the cantarilla wine vessel. The pottery workshop of Pereruela also stands out, where pots and stoves are made from a special kind of clay. And you can’t leave the town of Carbajales de Alba without buying one of the most beautiful locally made multi-colored embroideries. Add to this the ceramic workshops around the Arribes del Duero Natural Park and the toy shop in Fermosella. nine0003Aceñas de Olivares. Mills of medieval construction. Zamora

10In the traditional manner
This is how many of the everyday buildings in the province of Zamora are built and are still preserved. You will see old watermills, centuries-old rural buildings, dovecotes or stables, as well as unusual stone fences driven into the ground, designed to delimit the plots of different owners … All this is part of the characteristic local landscape. We are sure that such excursions will attract you, because you will discover a lot of new things.
As for clothing, here is an interesting detail: the women of Tierra de Alba can still dress up in an embroidered suit today, the tradition of which dates back to the 16th century. nine0003Kayaking on Lake Sanabria
10And some outdoor activities!
There are many ways to get to know the nature of Zamora. You can go for a bike ride among lagoons, ancient Roman ruins or fields where cereals ripen. Prefer water sports? They can be done at one of the local reservoirs. In winter, you can go hiking with snowshoes – the route starts from Laguna de los Peses. And if you are a hiker, you can head to the natural pool of Cueva de San Martin or hike along the road built by the ancient Romans. Also, don’t forget that such famous routes as the Silver Route and the Way of St. James pass through Zamora. nine0003

10Another (and very appetizing) offer
The gastronomy of Zamora can rightly be considered one of the attractions of this area.
The dishes of the local cuisine are so delicious… Let’s start with snacks. It can be a locally made chorizo sausage or an excellent denomination of origin cheese. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to visit the factory in Toro to taste the cheese, accompanied by wine, honey and savory snacks. This is followed by chickpea dishes from Fuentesauco, veal from Alista, milk lamb from the community of Castile-Leon, mushrooms, peppers from Valles de Benavente and much more. You will find a huge selection of all kinds of dishes. And for dessert, order delicious “cañas” (puff pastry tubes with cream). nine0003Vineyards in Zamora

10We raise a glass to the homeland of excellent wines!
There are four appellation of origin wines in Zamora: Toro, Arribes del Duero, Valles de Benavente and Tierra del Vino de Zamora. However, it is Toro wine that is the most famous. It has left its mark on the history of Spain, since references to it have been found since the 12th century.
By the way, it is this wine that is mentioned in literary works, in particular, in the medieval short story Celestina. More than 50 wineries make this wine in the Toro zone. They also offer tastings, grape harvesting, stories about the production of wines, guided tours of the vineyards … By the way, did you know that Morales de Toro even has a Wine Museum? nine0003Villafafila Zamora Lagoon Bird Sanctuary
10Don’t forget to bring binoculars
This way you can watch animals roam freely in nature. This includes foxes, roe deer, wolves and deer. There are companies that organize excursions in the format of a small safari, with breakfast in the lap of nature. Most often, such excursions are held at the end of September, during the impressive period of the reindeer rut. And if you love birdwatching, visit the Villafafila or Arribes del Duero lagoons, home to the black stork. Do you like to watch the starry sky? Then sign up for one of the events of the Astronomical Association of Zamora.

10Let’s celebrate!
Have you decided to visit Zamora in winter? This means that you will get a boost of fun from local masquerades. And don’t let the characters in “devilish” outfits and the ringing of their bells scare you. And if you travel in spring or autumn, you will surely be able to see the romeria, a folk festival with a pilgrimage ritual dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. Usually most of the inhabitants of the town take part in it, who will have exciting moments along the way. There are also holidays associated with bullfights or races, and, of course, Holy Week. The most impressive is the Easter procession in Zamora, which has been recognized as a cultural event of international tourist interest. nine0003
