Vega Alta, Municipality on the northern coast in Puerto Rico, US.

The municipality of Vega Alta spans 28 square miles along the Atlantic Ocean, divided into seven distinct administrative districts called barrios.

Francisco de la Cruz established the town of Vega Alta, initially named La Vega de Espinosa, on January 22, 1787 as a settlement in northern Puerto Rico.

During December, the Fiestas Patronales de La Inmaculada Concepción de María brings together residents for traditional parades, artisan displays, and regional food.

The Vega Alta Municipality Hall, located at P.O. Box 1390, handles administrative procedures and can be reached at +1 787-883-5900.

The Al-Faruq Mosque, constructed in 1992, stands as the largest Islamic religious structure throughout Puerto Rico.
