What is Discovery of Puerto Rico Day?
Discovery of Puerto Rico Day on 19 November marks the 1493 landing of Columbus in the Caribbean, the first European contact with the island. The name Puerto Rico comes from the rich port of San Juan de Puerto Rico, and the island kept its own Taíno name, Borinquén, in its people's memory. The day is a chance to look at the island's history — and its living culture of music, food and colour.
