Aguadilla - Puerto Rico

Aguadilla is known as "La Villa del Ojo de Agua" (village of the eye of water). Aguadilla is also known as "El Pueblo de los Tiburones" (town of the sharks), and recently "El Nuevo Jardín del Atlántico" (the new garden of the Atlantic). Aguadilla was founded in 1775 by Luis de Córdova. Aguadilla derives its name from a name given by the Indians "Guadilla or Guadiya" which means garden.

Aguadilla is best known to visitors for its beaches and for traditional mundillo lace-making (bobbin lace). Aguadilla's most popular surfing beaches include Crash Boat, famous for it's crystal clear waters, Gas Chambers, and Wilderness.

Among Aguadilla's main attractions you will find the popular "Parque Acuático Las Cascadas", a modern aquatic theme park, the biggest in the Caribbean and the "Merendero", with a beautiful view of the town's bay and the nearby Desecheo islet.
