It comprises the area demarcated by the Luis Muñoz Rivera Expressway on the south, Calle Cerra on the west, Avenida Las Palmas on the north, and Avenida Roberto H. Todd on the east. The origin of the name, which literally translates to "Rear Workshops" in Spanish, is derived from the mechanic's shops built to service the railway which existed in Puerto Rico in the 19th century, in the site which is currently occupied by Bahia Condominiums A & B.
