El Vigía is a historic and scenic neighborhood in Ponce, Puerto Rico, known for its elevated position that offers panoramic views of the city and the Caribbean Sea. The area gets its name from *El Vigía Cross* (*Cruz del Vigía*), a tall concrete cross that serves as a lookout point, symbolizing the watchmen who once stood guard over Ponce's port and coastline. Nearby, the iconic *Castillo Serrallés*, a grand mansion built in the 1930s by the Serrallés family—famous for their Don Q rum—now serves as a museum showcasing the island’s sugar and rum industry history.

Visitors to El Vigía can also explore *La Cruceta del Vigía*, an observation tower with breathtaking views of Ponce, and the *Jardín Japonés de Ponce*, a peaceful Japanese garden featuring traditional landscaping and koi ponds. The neighborhood blends history, culture, and natural beauty, making it a must-visit destination in Ponce.
