Santa Isabel (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsantajsaˈβel]) is a town and municipality of Puerto Rico located in the southern coast of the island, south of Coamo; east of Juana Díaz; and west of Salinas. Santa Isabel is spread over 7 barrios and Santa Isabel Pueblo (the downtown area and the administrative center). It is the principal city of the Santa Isabel Micropolitan Statistical Area and is part of the Ponce-Yauco-Coamo Combined Statistical Area.
Santa Isabel is known as The Capital of Agriculture,[2] La Ciudad de los Potros ("City of Colts") due to the number of potreros (or racehorse stud farms) in the area.
