Hi Sonny....
Greetings from Puerto Rico.
My husband and I love your videos and we are so glad you visited P.R.
We're are born and raised here, and live here all our lives.
I want to clarify something. We don't call it "tamales" in P.R. the correct name is "pasteles". It look like "tamales" actually, almost in all latinamerica people call it that way, no matter the difference in ingredients from one country to another, but here, the right way to call it is "pasteles". You can have two kind of "pasteles". One with "masa" of green banana, and the other with "yuca" also know as cassave. "Pasteles" are a delicious traditional dish served in Puerto Rico, specially during Christmas.
The origins of pasteles, however, can be traced back several centuries to Spanish colonial times.
Thank you so much for visiting our precious island.

I went to Puerto Rico for the first time last Summer and I immediately fell in love! This is a beautiful island, the people are friendly, the food is GREAT, I love their culture! Visiting this country was a remarkable experience. I'm going back this year to explore the country side and I can't wait!

[HappyGothGal]

My Abuelo is native Puerto Rican, as in my ancestors were Native Americans. He was murdered in NYC before I ever knew him & my parents raised me as a white girl from NJ. Thank you so much, Sonny and Oro! I've learned more about my heritage from you than from any of my ancestors, please keep it coming! 🇵🇷 💖

[TheTechiePinoyFoodie]

Very Filipino I must say. The similarities in food culture between the Boriquas and the Pinoys are astounding 😮

[levimichal]

Not a tamale it is a pastel. Thank you for sharing the island. I miss Puerto Rico, la Isla del Encanto

[pawirochannel]

🌟Wonderful content, these really amazing are beautiful places, 8 like it. Good luck my friend.🙏❤

[anoneemus]

Puerto Rico looks lovely and so does their food. But I have to say both look very similar to places in the Philippines and the food as well, probably due to the spanish influence.

[edorofish]

12:20 I was there with the US Army moving water and food across the Island. I trained there quite a bit in the 90s. Great food! Great people!
