Industry
Jesús Cruz Avilés, remembered as Cayey’s beloved “Piragüero Alegre,” was born on December 25, 1929 and lived 83 years. For 47 years he worked at Plaza Ramón Frade León, where he sold piraguas, a glass filled with shaved ice covered in fruit syrup, initially for one cent. Beyond the sale itself, he was chiefly devoted to pleasing his customers, and his example endures as part of preserving this cherished town tradition.
