GeographyPuerto Rican tourist literature uses the name Spanish Virgin Islands, but most general maps and atlases do not treat these islands as part of the Virgin Islands archipelago.{{citation needed|date=July 2011}} As part of Puerto Rico, the Passage Islands are part of a territory of the United States, and they belonged to Spain before the Spanish–American War in 1898. Spanish remains the predominant language, although English is also common. The principal islands of the group are Culebra and Vieques, with multiple associated smaller islands and islets. Other islands that are close to the shore of Puerto Rico include: Icacos Island, Cayo Lobo, Cayo Diablo, Palomino Island, Palominito Island, Isla de Ramos, Isla Pineiro, Cayo Lobo. Near Culebra there is Cayo Luis Peña. Culebra's smaller island, Cayo Norte, is part of Culebra National Wildlife Refuge.[1] Much of Vieques is part of Vieques National Wildlife Refuge, formerly a U.S. Navy facility.[2] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.fws.gov/caribbean/PDF/cbrcon.pdf |title=Culebra National Wildlife Refuge |author=U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service |accessdate=March 7, 2007 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061014123658/http://www.fws.gov/caribbean/PDF/cbrcon.pdf |archivedate=October 14, 2006}} {{coord|18|13|36.27|N|65|20|18.38|W|display=title}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.fws.gov/caribbean/PDF/vieques_factsheet.pdf |title=Vieques National Wildlife Refuge |author=U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service |accessdate=March 7, 2007 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061004122751/http://www.fws.gov/caribbean/PDF/vieques_factsheet.pdf |archivedate=October 4, 2006}} 5 : Culebra, Puerto Rico|Vieques, Puerto Rico|Islands of Puerto Rico|Virgin Islands|Archipelagoes of the United States |
