Courtyard Aguadilla

Aguadilla, founded in 1775 by Luis de Córdova, is a city and municipality located in the northwestern tip of Puerto Rico, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, north of Aguada, and Moca and west of Isabela. Aguadilla is spread over 15 barrios and Aguadilla Pueblo. It is a principal city and core of the Aguadilla-Isabela-San Sebastián Metropolitan Statistical Area. This region was already inhabited and known as Aguadilla before 1770. Nevertheless, according to Dr. Agustín Stahl in his Foundation of Aguadilla, it was not until 1780 that the town was officially founded. The construction of a new church and the proceedings to become an independent village began in 1775.

Located on the northwest coast of the island, Aguadilla is known for its clear blue waters, surfing, and picturesque sunsets. The town is home to several beaches, including Crash Boat Beach, which is considered one of the best on the island. The beach features crystal-clear waters, white sand, and a pier that's perfect for fishing or taking in the sunset.

In addition to its beaches, Aguadilla is also known for its delicious food. The town offers a variety of culinary experiences, from traditional Puerto Rican dishes to international cuisine. Be sure to try the local delicacies, such as mofongo, a dish made from mashed plantains and filled with meat or seafood.
