Carolina,

  • Carolina is a city located in the northern part of Puerto Rico, bordering the Atlantic Ocean; it lies north of Gurabo and Juncos; east of Trujillo Alto and San Juan; and west of Canóvanas and Loíza. Carolina is spread over 12 wards plus Carolina Pueblo (the downtown area and the administrative center of the city). It is part of the San Juan-Caguas-Guaynabo Metropolitan Statistical Area. Although Carolina is not technically part of San Juan, it is a short distance from San Juan. Along with San Juan, Bayamón, Guaynabo, Cataño, Toa Baja and Trujillo Alto it is considered to form part of the island’s metropolitan area. The town was founded in 1816 as Trujillo Bajo (“lower Trujillo”), along with its counterpart Trujillo Alto after Trujillo, Spain. In 1857 it was renamed to San Fernando de la Carolina, later shortened to Carolina, after Charles II of Spain.

Northstar Travel Why This Should Be The Year You Visit Puerto Rico Why This Should Be The Year You Visit Puerto Rico I went to Puerto Rico last summer and had an AMAZING time. The beaches are beautiful, and the historic centre is full of art, history and culture. For my next trip, I want to go to Vieques Island to experience the Bioluminescent Bay at night.  by Northstar Travel - 5 months ago - San Juan, - - Reply
