In Puerto Rico, the town of Cataño, once a neighborhood of Bayamón until 1927, has become a tourist destination. With its artistic, historical, and economic talent, Cataño offers a variety of activities, including a mural by American artist Nathan Budoff McKibben, titled 'Entre tierra firme y mar', which reflects on the relationship between the environment, culture, and social development.
The town also features the Paseo Tablado, a 440-foot walkway overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and the Bahía de Cataño, which showcases artistic creations and dedications to social causes. Additionally, Cataño is home to Casa Bacardí, the world’s largest premium rum distillery, and the Parque Educativo de la Primera Dama. Despite its attractions, Cataño has faced political scandals, including a recent vacancy in the mayor’s office.
The town is now preparing for a new election, with six candidates vying for the position. Cataño’s history and culture are a source of pride for its residents, who celebrate their heritage and the town’s natural beauty.
