'Las Tetas De Cayey', also known as "Cerro Las Tetas" and "Cerro del Torito", are two mountain tops in Cayey, Puerto Rico nicknamed so for their similarity to a woman's breasts (the word "tetas" is a Spanish vulgar word for "breasts", much like the English word, "tits"). They are located near the Monumento al Jíbaro Puertorriqueño which is a statue found along autopista PR-52 (Interstate PR-1) which cuts across the island from north to south. Recently the town of Salinas took the town of Cayey to court over the location of "Las Tetas" and won, so "Las Tetas de Cayey" now belong to the municipality of Salinas. Even so, the name of the mountains are so embedded in puertorican culture, they are still referred to as "Las Tetas de Cayey".
