Hi Sergio,

Thanks for the report, and I think that in fact mirrorlist would just be
missing a map for nearby country for Puerto Rico .
I have just created https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/298 ticket and
assigned it to me to investigate and I'll report here when it will be fixed.

It seems that there is probably just something missing for the
map/geoiplookup and so it defaults back to US mirrors instead of picking
yours (which, as you said, is up2date and so should be used in mirrorlist)

Kind Regards,
