We offer commercial perspective on Florida and the Caribbean. In homage to Ponce de Leon, we entitle our regional blog Beyond Caparra. By most accounts, he made his real fortune in the New World selling food, medicine, and other provisions to sailors and stalworts heading back home to Europe. His station at Caparra, Puerto Rico is now a protected historical site.
