San Juan Metro Area (Área Metro)

The unofficial but colloquial San Juan metropolitan area (in Spanish; área metropolitana de San Juan, abbreviated AMSJ), also referred to as the Área Metro is the sprawling area surrounding the Municipality of San Juan which includes San Juan and its conurbation of the municipalities of Bayamón, Carolina, Cataño, Guaynabo and Trujillo Alto, and in some cases it also includes Toa Baja (particularly the suburb of Levittown). After San Juan, many of these municipalities are the most populous in the commonwealth of Puerto Rico. [3] It represents the inner urban area of the metropolitan statistical area of San Juan. This urban area is also known as the Área metro de Puerto Rico based on the misconception that San Juan is the only urbanized metropolitan area in the island.
