The town is named after Santa Isabel de Hungría. In fact, the town was established on November 19, the day commemorating Santa Isabel de Hungría. Santa Isabel is known as "La Tierra Fértil" (The Fertile Earth) because of the fruits cultivated in this area.
The artisans in this area are particularly well known for the locally produced bomba drums. In the town, stop by the Iglesia Santiago Apóstol at the Plaza de Recreo. You might also want to stop at El Malecón, a small area with restaurants overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
