Cidra

Cidra is a municipality located in the northern region of Puerto Rico. It is situated in the mountainous interior of the island, bordered by the municipalities of Toa Alta, Bayamón, Guaynabo, Aguas Buenas, and Comerío. The terrain of Cidra is characterized by its rolling hills and valleys, contributing to its nickname "La Ciudad de la Eterna Primavera" (The City of Eternal Spring) due to its generally pleasant climate.

The municipality's economy historically relied on agriculture, particularly coffee and tobacco cultivation. In recent decades, like many other inland towns in Puerto Rico, Cidra has seen a shift towards service-based industries and a growing residential population. The development of roads and infrastructure has made it more accessible and attractive as a place to live, while still retaining some of its rural charm.

Cidra is known for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The Cidra Lake, or Lago de Cidra, is a prominent feature and a popular spot for fishing and other water activities. The area surrounding the lake offers scenic views and is often visited by locals and tourists seeking outdoor recreation. The town's cultural life includes local festivals and traditions that reflect the heritage of Puerto Rico. The patron saint of Cidra is San Juan Bautista, and his feast day is celebrated annually.
