Default Football matches in Samana

You can go to the pizzaria Du Vagobond near the Supermercado Popular. The owner is a Swiss man who does not speak English. He is a huge Football (Futbol in Spanish) fan. If there is anyone who would have the game it would be him.

There is a good chance they will also have it at the hotel. One of my clients told me yesterday that the match between Barcelona and Man U. will be put on a big screen in the lobby at Cayacoa this week.

If you have trouble just contact me and I will help you out the best I can.

Terry I think he's talking Rugby? If so, bring your laptop and try to watch it online cause it's gonna be hard to find a Rugby bar in Samana.

Thanks guys, is there anywhere that you may know that shows european rugby union? as i've heard there's a following in the Dominican Republic, if there are any places like this then I assume they will be showing the lions tests? if the bars mentioned above show football from sky sports then hopefully they will have rugby as-well!

I don't know of anything in Samana like that. Unfortunately we are pretty far away from all the other towns were Europeans live. I'm sure there are bars like that here in the country. I think the advice of Mason3000 is pretty solid. Try to watch it on the internet. You can use the free WiFi in Rinconcito View Restaurant at the base of the hill from Cayacoa to watch it online.

You would probably have to travel about 2 hours away to see the test on TV, somewhere up in Cabarete or Sousua area to see it. I would suggest making a request in the North Coast: Puerta Plata forums to see if anyone has any info on the match. Also try the Santo Domingo forum as well, as SD is only a 2 hour drive as well.
