I am in search of a recipe for Puerto Rician style Roast Pork...?

I live in an area with a large Puerto Rician population and very much enjoy the different pork offerings at the local restaurants. The roast pork has a marinade or rub that I can't figure out. It is so moist and in the style of pulled pork. I believe it is the shoulder cut or ';picnic'; cut.I am in search of a recipe for Puerto Rician style Roast Pork...?
Low and slow is the key, enjoy:

Puerto Rican Style Pernil (Roast Pork) Recipe #56651





Pernil is roasted pork shoulder, seasoned to the max. It is served with rice and beans or sweet plantains. Cold Pernil is sliced thin paired with Swiss cheese, pickles and ham to make the famous Cuban sandwich. I found this recipe online and have made it twice now. I love it and so does my family.
