Navarrete: It is a wide spot in the road to Montecristi. All it has is some of the finest tobacco processors in the world, an outstanding rattan furniture factory and a tomato processing factory. Oh yes, it also has the best armed FALPO unit in the DR....
Basically a village that has grown up around agriculture. I forgot to mention that there are two rice mills there, too: Bisonó and another one...
It is not a cultural center, nor a manufacturing center, nor a tourist center nor an entertainment mecca....it is what it is....
One of the least known (among foreigners, that is) attractions in Navarrete is the fudge....You can get some at Bar Kenya....
