Añasco
The city “Where the Gods Died.”
By:Travel and Sports Staff, June-2008

Taíno Indians drowned a Spanish soldier to prove the Spaniards were not gods. With proof in hand, this led to the Indian rebellion of 1511.

Today Añasco is known for its hojaldre cake (filled with brandy and spices), the chipe clam and one of the largest plazas on the Island. A little farther on is the Balneario Tres Hermanos. This facility completes the chain of surfing beaches that start in Isabela.

How to go:
To reach the town proper from Rincón, stay on Rt 115 south, cross Rt 2, ... (more)
