Torrimar is a rapid transit station in San Juan agglomeration, Puerto Rico. It is located between Jardines and Martínez Nadal stations on the sole line of the Tren Urbano system, in Frailes barrio of Guaynabo. The station is named after the Torrimar neighborhood which it serves. The trial service ran in 2004, however, the regular service only started on 6 June 2005.[1] The station is one of the few in the system that has retail space available and, since 2008, it has hosted a Ben & Jerry's store.[2]
