I guess I will go in short installments. <br /> <br />The sugar cane was originally controlled by a consortium of American and Puerto Rican Companies. Today, it is controlled by a cooperative of farmers and the government. There are two remaining refineries on the Island, today sugar is refined for medical alcohol and rum. The one open to the public is the Bacardi refinery in Mercadita ( Mehr-sa-deeta), just east of Ponce. It is owned by the Serralles ( Sehr-ah-yes) family that also once owned all of the surrounding land, and a beautiful castle - Castillo Serralles overlooking Ponce, just below the vigilant cross - Cruz vigilante. You can take a tour of the plant and there are still tracks in and around the plant.
