Valenzuela

Valenzuela is a small, green town surrounded by pineapple fields that grow among the rocks and yield especially sweet fruit. Its church of San José, blessed in 1783, keeps Baroque altarpieces and a pulpit, with statues carved around 1600. In summer, the swimming spots on the Yhaguy stream (Domiciana, San Agustín, La Cascada) are the local plan; in January, the Expo Piña fills the square with juices, sweets and music, and on Good Friday 'living sculptures' re-create biblical scenes next to the church.
