Lajas, Administrative municipality in southwestern Puerto Rico.
The Municipality of Lajas extends across 76 square miles of land near the Caribbean Sea, with twelve distinct barrios surrounding the central pueblo district.
Teodoro Jácome Pagán y Cancel and José Rodríguez y Rodríguez, descendants of Majorcan Jews, established Lajas as a municipality in 1883.
The Fiestas Patronales de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria brings residents together each February for traditional parades, regional food, and local music performances.
