This boy from San Lorenzo grew to be a Latin mega pop star
His name is Chayanne and he is recognized worldwide as an icon of Spanish pop music with many successful world tours, over 50 million albums sold worldwide, and countless awards in the music industry.
San Lorenzo is a traditional town where you will see fruit plantations, lots of horse riding, troubadours, and folk music.
As you can imagine, Chayanne is the favorite son of this town and they showed how proud they were by naming Road PR #203 Highway as “Expreso Chayanne”. Similarly, Chayanne named his son Lorenzo Valentino in honor of his hometown’s saint patron.
Even though Chayanne lives now in Miami, he still comes to San Lorenzo to visit his family, especially during Christmas season.
If you want to visit the hometown of this artist (whom is known to be very easy going and humble), you can do so during one of the town’s traditional fiestas. These are yearly events to celebrate the saint patron or local activities that are important to sanlorenceños.
