La Montaña
La Montaña is the central, mountainous region of Puerto Rico. The Cordillera Central (English: Central Mountain Range), the main mountain range in Puerto Rico, crosses the island from west to east through the region and divides the island into northern and southern coastal plains.
Municipalities[edit]
Aside from being municipalities, they are referred to as cities or towns depending on their population size.
