Miss my Puerto Rican food, the way it's made back home💔😖miss everything from my island. Thanks to you Ovi, you bring Puerto Rico to me. Doesn't matter what part of Puerto Rico, all the towns are beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your vacations. This takes me back, when I used to visit family and they would share the fruits or vegetables they were growing. God bless.
Hay Ovi. Como siempre eres el mejor.bellos lugares y el campo no se pueden comparar .Y para completar la música de Rocky le da más alegría y felicidad. Grasias.
I loved it!..hacen 19 años que no voy a la isla y ver tus videos es como si estuviera ahi...me relajan..gracias por compartir tanto detalle..nunca habia visto que alguien hiciera videos así tan detallados y bién hechos....y en adición..you have a nice big family..they live in paradise...thank you!
Gracias Mayi. El unico sitio que yo hago videos, hasta el momento, es en Puerto Rico. A veces tambien voy a Peru. Ultimamente, viajo dos o tres veces al año desde New Jersey. Como he perdido tanto tiempo fuera de la isla, decadas, estoy tratando de recuperar ahora lo que perdi. Lol
Ur Vlogs are more then just a great escape Ovi...Ur style is more like a historian documenting our history... And we're as Puerto Rican are greatly honor by ur reminder here in the states...That is not all about work-work and no play...You have encourage me in 2020 to take my family to P.R. and do those exciting things that I once was...And that is being a kid again... Tomorrow is never promise...Thanks Ovi...
You're welcome. I only lived on the island for seven and a half years as a kid. And am now trying to catch up on everything I missed. Bringing you guys along on the journey via video. Hope to do it for a long time.
I love the view and the music but your personal anecdote is just superb, thx my brother I really feel I'm there nice feeling ovi,thx always buen provecho
Ovi, Thank you so much for all these awesome videos about San Sebastián!! Tengo un hijo que está sirviendo un mission for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and he’s currently in San Sebastián!! You videos bring me much joy!! I’m am also from Puerto Rico de caguas.
Hi Helen. Glad you liked the videos. Every time I visit the island for vacation I end up recording all day instead because it's so beautiful there. Lol. Saludos a tu hijo en San Sebastian. Me alegro que este conociendo la isla. Saludos.
Thanks Jason. Even though I go on vacation, it's hard for me to vacation and relax. I spend most of my time recording the beauty of the island instead. I do it for all of us.
Thanks Rafael. I travel to the island at least twice a year and create these videos. All my family originated in San Sebastian, but are now spread all over the west coast of Puerto Rico, mostly Aguadilla.
Saludos Evelyn. Yo tengo familia en Mirabales y quizas tu los conoces. Mi tia se llama Dalila Valentin y mi tio Esnaldo Palau. Tambien tengo unos primos en Calabazas. Haz visto el camion de pizza llamado Yoshi's Pizza en Calabazas? Es de un primo Palau. Saludos.
Saludos Ovi, it's so awesome how one can live of what he plants in the soil in the island, those oranges look so good as well the guineos niños, also Nice video of your family as well, thank you again for posting these videos!
Lol I remember as a kid my grandmother had a sack by the kitchen door full of China s. She made fresh orange juice every day. I asked my mom the other day if she had heard of your father. And she said she had. I told her he is on the radio on Sunday but didn't remember the radio station. She loves listening to the radio. I always ask her about the weather and tell her the temperature here. She laughs. She doesn't miss the weather here at all. Lol Awesome vlog. Peace!!
Thanks Jenny. I love fresh orange juice. And that's great your mom has heard of my father. He gets around the island a lot. He no longer is on the radio because the last month was in January, but the new show begins in September or October again. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful area! Been through Lares and San Sebastian on 111 stopped by the falls called Salto Collazo. Was there on my 1st or 2nd trip to PR on the way to Rincon area. I'm from NJ also Jersey city.
Hey Ovi. What a excellent video. It looks so peaceful there in Las Marías and San Sebastián. Definitely a good place to retire. Jajaja. Everyone is so genuine it your videos. Keep making more.
Love your videos....love coquis......thank you so much...hope for us to come visit for our 50th anniversary this November...we live in Oklahoma but lived in Hawaii for 6 years and miss the tropics. Lots of family here in OK so that makes it hard to move but as we get older, we have to figure out what we really want....maybe just winters in a warm place? Oh and the bananas! Our best friend in Hawaii was Jackie Hernandez, came to Hawaii in the military...passed away last year..but we love our memories. Best person we have ever known.
Beautiful Puerto Rico will be there in March my father's hometown Isabela never been to Las Maria's thank you love el Campos in the day time lol take care don't eat to much fried you know cholesterol
Gracias Rosa. I am going back to the island too on 15 March for a festival de la china dulce in Las Marias. It's a three day weekend festival, on the 15th, 16th, and 17th. It's not far from Isabela, maybe you can pay us a visit. And yes, I understand about the fried foods. The food itself is good, but the oil it is fried in is not. I do have somewhat high cholesterol and extra weight. But I will cut on some a little. Saludos.
Saludos!Excelentes videos!Te felicito por promover el turismo de nuestra bella Isla del Encanto.Soy de San Sebastiàn del barrio Saltos .Te sugiero para tu pròxima visita vayas a El Burrito' Places (en Saltos 1)Los domingo asan lechòn,arroz,viandas,en la semana hacen almuerzos.Un abrazo fraternal.
The difference between both oranges is la naranja is for cooking and to make naranja paste which is sweet and delicious. The orange you eat or juice it.
Hi Ovi, earlier in this video you said you were visiting your uncle in San Sebastian? How far does he live from 'Bario Poza'. I think that is where Myrta grew up. I was just curious. I saw you eating that little banana too, ha, ha! Take care! Jose
How old was your father when you was born ,he looks more like your brother, young father lol, anyway thank you for sharing this video with us I've never been to Puerto Rico, don't have any family there but both my parents were born there, mom's in ponce father in Lares (did I spell it right ) but I get to see it through your lenses, again thank you, I did once try to make plans to do a walk through where my mom's grew up at with all my sister's but my mom's, two sisters are gone now and so is my dream of visiting PR, keep on trucking through this beautiful place and sharing your videos with us. 😎🤗😉👍✌👋👐
He was 19 when I was born. Still very young and he preserves very well to this day. Yes, you did spell Ponce and Lares correctly. I feel different when I arrive the island. At peace and with no worries. I highly recommend you do a trip to the island. You do have family there, lots of them. Look for second and third cousins and pay them a visit. There must be a connection somewhere. If you put some time aside and start planning now, you can be there by next year. I am planning another trip now, for July. And Ponce is on my list again.
Ovi bananas do not grow on a banana trees. They grow on pseudostems, made of densely packed leaves. This is a normal mistake. In PR they are referred to as mata de guineo. In English a banana plant.
Ovi eat what you want whenever you want. I mean it is food. Does it matter. I am glad that you are enjoying all the great things from Puerto Rico. Some of the food even home grown. Not exported only to be imported. Fresh from the garden. Cheers take care.. That liquor will kill you. We use to have Petriche. (I think)
No puedo creer que un puertoro use una fotografía para ilustrar un video y usen la grandiosa imagen de nuestra adorada bandera " boca abajo " la punta de la estrella apuntando hacia ABAJO. NO CREO QUE FUE INTENCIONADO EL GESTO PERO POR FAVOR LA PROXIMA VEZ UN POQUITO MAS DE ATENCION. GRACIAS POR LOS VIDEOS MOSTRANDO NUESTRA BELLA ISLA. 😊
Ovi in PR they call them china because when they arrived in crates they where labeled de china. That’s how they ended up with the name china. They are not native to PR.
China's 🤣😂👊👏✊ my central American friends are always like WTF why do you guys call them China's.🤔🧐 does anyone have an answer to that🤣. I've lived in Puerto Rico for almost 14 years and I never knew how to answer this.
Originally in Puerto Rico it was called oranges from China ( Naranjas de la China ) but eventually people cut the name to Chinas and so stayed until today. We call Naranjas to another variety that is bitter and we use to make a typical sweet. So here the sweet variety is China and the bitter Naranja.
Que lugar tan hermoso y la música de tu padre es mágica. God bless you and your entire family 🙏
MUY BONITO VIDEO¡ LAS MONTAÑAS DE LAS MARIAS Y SAN SEBASTIAN¡
Miss my Puerto Rican food, the way it's made back home💔😖miss everything from my island. Thanks to you Ovi, you bring Puerto Rico to me. Doesn't matter what part of Puerto Rico, all the towns are beautiful.

Thank you Carmen.
Thanks for sharing your vacations. This takes me back, when I used to visit family and they would share the fruits or vegetables they were growing.
God bless.
Sharing is a big part of being Puerto Rican. So nice.
Another spectacular view from the mountains. Your father is not camera shy at all. Thanks again for another video.
Thanks Nicky. No, he is not camera shy. I gotta get him to speak more on camera. Lol. Saludos.

Hi Ovi, earlier in this video you said you were visiting your uncle in San Sebastian? How far does he live from 'Bario Poza'. I think that is where Myrta grew up. I was just curious. I saw you eating that little banana too, ha, ha! Take care! Jose

Ovi bananas do not grow on a banana trees. They grow on pseudostems, made of densely packed leaves. This is a normal mistake. In PR they are referred to as mata de guineo. In English a banana plant.
You have a uncle that is 91 years old, he looks great! Nice video like always THANK YOU Ovi Duran.
Thanks Harry. Will be 92 in July.
Gracias por visitar mi Pueble el pepino
Ovi eat what you want whenever you want. I mean it is food. Does it matter. I am glad that you are enjoying all the great things from Puerto Rico. Some of the food even home grown. Not exported only to be imported. Fresh from the garden. Cheers take care.. That liquor will kill you. We use to have Petriche. (I think)
I rarely drink liquor, but I do try a little when i'm on the island. Just to taste. Saludos.
¡Me encantan los coquíes!
Luz, el sonido de ese coqui lo grabe detras la casa de mi padre en Las Marias.
¡Gracias es absolutamente hermoso!
LA naranja tiene un sabor parecido a la toronja (grapefruit) pero mas intenso
Linda bandera.
Sour orange - naranja
Never let that beautiful flag touch the ground.
My dad has pasteles for breakfast..😁
I would have them for breakfast too if I could. Lol
No puedo creer que un puertoro use una fotografía para ilustrar un video y usen la grandiosa imagen de nuestra adorada bandera " boca abajo " la punta de la estrella apuntando hacia ABAJO.

I'll eat escapurias anytime.🖒
Yup! Lol...same here.
Yo lo que pregunto es ,porque no hablas español.me intereza que la gente en puertorico lo escuchen en nuestro idioma español. No en ingles.
China's 🤣😂👊👏✊ my central American friends are always like WTF why do you guys call them China's.🤔🧐 does anyone have an answer to that🤣. I've lived in Puerto Rico for almost 14 years and I never knew how to answer this.

Very interesting fact. I never knew that
