Peñuelas, Puerto Rico is a town on the southern coast of the island of Puerto Rico.
Peñuelas is flanked on the east by Ponce, on the west by Guayanilla, on the south by the Caribbean Sea and on the north by Adjuntas. Penuelas has about 20,000 inhabitants.
Peñuelas is better known as El Valle de los Flamboyanes (The Valley of the Flanboyants.) Its AA Amateur Baseball team is called Los Petroleros de Peñuelas (The Peñuelas' Oilers.) The origin of this name dates back to the days when Peñuelas was home to a major petro-chemical complex known as Corco. Although Corco closed operations in 1980, the name stuck throughout the years.
