General information
A small, touristic town, Coamo is known for its historic downtown area and for its thermal waters. One of the most famous thermal water spots is located in Coamo: a part of a resort named Coamo's Bath (Los Baños de Coamo in Spanish). The thermal waters service is available to the general public.
Coamo doesn't have a large sports activity program each year: the city's BSN team, the Coamo Marathon Runners, is the only professional team to play there, and they have played in Coamo with mixed success since joining the league in 1985. Another of the few sports activities held in Coamo is the world famous San Blas Marathon, a marathon race that attracts runners from Puerto Rico, Brazil, Kenya, Mexico, Colombia, Uganda and many other countries world-wide each year.

Coamo - Its flag has three horizontal stripes: red the upper one, yellow in the center, and fl the lower one.
After we had a report by Nelson L. Roman that "The flag of Coamo Puerto Rico does not use the shield in the flag", here comes with the shield on the flag.
The gold color that serves as background in contrast with the fl color, recalls the yellowish reddish tone of the fields of Coamo during the droughts.
