In Puerto Rico, it's not unusual for a city or town to be known_____ a nickname that corresponds to one of its notable features, like landscape, climate, famous residents, or chief exports. For example, the Puerto Rican municipality of Hatillo has also been called "the Land of Green Fields," a nickname that alludes to what the area is well known for: the lush greenery that surrounds it.
