Gurabo
Stairway Streets.
A good place to start in Gurabo is the Centro de Exposiciones in the City Hall. This bright-yellow building houses a photographic gallery recording the history of Gurabo and a remarkable bell tower. If you are lucky, you get to go up on the roof and into the small yellow building that houses one of the oldest clocks in the Island (1898), a finely crafted machine, a real historical masterpiece. Just across the way from the building is a large tree-lined plaza perfect for a moment of peace and quiet.
As you walk out of the City Hall to your right, you could go up to one of the "stairway streets" that take you to the small hill in the center of town. Gurabo is also the home of the mapeyé rhythm, one of the distinctive types of Puerto Rican folkloric music. You can recognize this form, as it is customary to begin a décima (verse) with "LeLoLai."
>How to go:
From Rt 52, take Rt 30, and before you get to Caguas, take the exit for Gurabo. It will take you right to the plaza.
