Palmas del Mar Palm Course, Humacao /Frazier Nivens
Humacao June-2008, By:Travel and Sports Staff
Humacao
Humacao is named after the Indian chief Jumacao.
This was once an important sugarcane area (the Ejemplo and Pasto Viejo sugar mills were located here). In 1920, the Czech architect Antonin Nechodoma designed a home for the Roig-Guzmán family. This unique and graceful structure is now open to the public as the Museo Casa Roig. While the Museo features displays of contemporary art, it is a work of art in and of itself.
After looking around the Museo, you might want to look up. To do that, visit the Astronomic Observatory (see the directory for details). You can see sunspots during the day and do a bit of stargazing at night. Of course, there is always the beach area north of town and the Mesones Gastronómicos along the shoreline.
For the golfers in the crowd, the Palmas del Mar offers two first-class challenging courses along with a host of other facilities.
