Talk:Ocho Ríos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Name of city--origin

If someone expands this article, someone should write about the name. The name Ocho Rios means Eight Rivers in Spanish, which would imply eight rivers somewhere, but in fact there aren't eight rivers. I understand it's a corruption of Los Choreos, Spanish for The Rapids. Someone visiting comments on "los choreos," and the name somehow stuck. But I haven't got a citation for this.

[edit] Point of grammar/usage

The article says: "Fed by springs located in the hills above, visitors take pleasure in 'climbing' the falls as the water rushes around them."

I sincerely doubt that the visitors to Ocho Rios are "fed by springs."
