Humacao, Puerto Rico

Quiet little town in Eastern Puerto Rico.

Humacao doesn't have the big hospital facilities, professional sports teams or large crowds of many of Puerto Rico's larger cities. But it does have a branch of the University Of Puerto Rico with a large sports facility, unspoiled miles of beach, a small airport and a large golf course at Palmas Del Mar Beach Resort.

Humacao is famous all over Puerto Rico for it's granitos, a greasy snack food which is composed of a fried shell filled with hot cheese and rice inside of it. People have for years driven to Humacao from other cities just to taste this snack food.

Humacao's small airport is served by Vieques Air Link with a daily flight from Vieques, and occasionally by small airplanes chartered by the Palmas Del Mar resort to fly groups of guests to the airport, which is near the hotel.

There is also a Pueblo Supermarkets store in Humacao, and various elementary and high school facilities.
