Patillas, Municipality on southeastern coast, Puerto Rico
Patillas extends along the southeastern shore of Puerto Rico, featuring both mountainous terrain in the Sierra de Cayey and coastal areas near the Caribbean Sea.
The municipality gained official recognition on October 31, 1811, following a land donation by Doña Adelina Cintrón, marking the start of structured development in the region.
The population of Patillas maintains strong connections to their Taino, Spanish, and African roots through local festivals, including the annual Fiestas Patronales de San Benito Abad.
Travelers can reach Patillas via Puerto Rico Highway 53 and Highway 3, which connect the municipality to major cities like San Juan and provide access to local attractions.
The Lago Patillas reservoir, constructed in 1914, supplies water to surrounding communities while offering opportunities for fishing and recreational activities throughout the year.
