Description: Directly in front of Plaza de la Dársena and La Casita, is La Plaza de Hostos, named after “The Citizen of the Americas” Eugenio María de Hostos. An avid supporter of the independence movement for Puerto Rico and Cuba, Hostos dedicated his life to educational causes, helping Peru and the Dominican Republic in organizing their educational systems as well as advocating women’s rights to higher education. A bust of Hostos adorns this plaza, where you can find numerous food vendors with typical fried treats and sweets, artisans, and locals playing dominos and enjoying the shade. |
