Lares has one major claim to fame: The 1868 uprising that happened there, brought on by pro-independence rebels who wanted Puerto Rico to gain its freedom from Spain. The movement, known thereafter as ''El Grito De Lares '' (''The Cry of Lares''), was soon extinguished. Famous ''lareños'' include major Latino singer and guitar player Jose Feliciano and Miss Universe 2001, Denise Quiñones . |
