Is Puerto Rico famous for anything?

Answer 1

Puerto Rico is famous for its Caribbean history (including pirates), its talented Baseball players, and its natural beauty. Related to this, five Miss Universe winners have come from Puerto Rico, more than from anywhere but the US and Venezuela.

Puerto Rico is considered "The Key to the Caribbean" by North and Central American countries because of it's strategic position and it's large territorial extension (compared to other islands to the east). Right now the US holds military bases on the island, so any air/sea attacks directed toward American soil via the Caribbean can be properly detected and dealt with before they reach their intended target.
