It was a beautiful day in the island in spite of the rain. From what we’ve experienced, rain does not stop the party here. Our friends and tour guides, Jossie & Juan, would tell us that we should not leave Puerto Rico without visiting the Lechoneras in Guavate and Sunday evening turned out to be our lucky day. It was about an hour drive through the city and into what looked like the rain forrest with hills on a curvy and narrow road. Early on, you start noticing kiosk after kiosk on both sides of the road claiming to serve the best Lechon (Roasted Whole Pig) in town. The scene was beautiful and the Anthony Bourdain in us was awakened. Each Kiosk had their Lechon on display along with all the side dishes like the puerto rican classic Rice with Pigeon Peas and the delicious Yuca. Yuca is a potato like root that is cooked in oil with onions, garlic, and who really cares what else…haha. It’s just that good! Juan decided to stop at the Lechonera “El Rancho”. This place was not just a place to eat. There was loud live music, a dance floor, people enjoying drinks, others placing bets on mechanical mini horse races, and if all that was not enough the sitting area was alongside a gorgeous river with the soothing sound of water crashing into the boulders of rocks. Jossie was right! Guavate is a must-see when in PR.
