Small, but not too smal, beautiful country side, South: mountains with a lot of free fruits. East: Rio Yuna, beautiful fresh and clear water, Rice everwhere.
West more mountains, the Presa de Hatillo, just 10 minutes away, you can bring your boat  , North: more Rice!!
in Between Sto Dgo and Santiago.
you can ask for more!!
oohhh!!!... and there is no Crimes like Santiago and Santo Domingo.

Joshua R...
You are confusing San Pedro de Macoris with San Francisco de Macoris. They aren't even in the same part of the country. Their only link is the "de Macoris" sobriquet due to having been ruled by the same taino cacique (Macorix) when the Spaniards arrived. San Pedro is known for its baseball players. San Francisco, sadly, is known for its drug dealers turned millionnaires. (Yes, I know...some of you will take offense...but I'm francomacorisano...and trust and believe...my family made a fortune dealing drugs in Washington Heights. And I know plenty others...LOL!)

But the obvious answer wasn't mentioned by anyone...Constanza. Absolutely the most beautiful little town on the island.

So what's up NAHLS...Are you going to put up Cotui in your poll? It has more votes than Barahona, San Juan and San Pedro. If you want to read what's going on in Cotui here's a good blog http://cotuialdesnudo.blogspot.com/index.html |

Why is it that there are no museums/cultural atractions in the cities of RD (except Santiago and Santo Domingo). All of our major cities were founded during the 1400's and 1500's, is it that we don't have an important past?
I wish these cities could become more culturaly rich, like the cities in Cuba.
Dominican cities and their foundings
Santo Domingo de Guzman (founded 4 August, 1494)
Santiago de los 30 Caballeros (founded in 1495 by Bartolome Colon, brother of Cristobal Colon)
Benemérita de San Cristóbal (founded in 1495)
Concepcion de la Vega (founded in 1495 by Cristobal Colon)
Bonao (Founded in 1496 by Cristóbal Colon)
San Felipe de Puerto Plata (founded in 1496 by Bartolomé Colon or Nicolás de Ovando)
La Romana (founded in 1496 by Bartolomé Colon)
Santa Cruz del Seybo (Founded in 1502 by Juan Esquivel)
Salvaleón de Higüey (founded in 1503)
San Juan de la Maguana (Founded in 1503 by Nicolás de Ovando)
Azua de Compostela (Founded in 1504 by Diego Velásquez, conquistador for Cuba)
San Fernando de Montecristi (founded 1506)
Cotuí (Rodrigo De Trujillo for order of Nicolas de Ovando, in the year 1510)
Hato Mayor del Rey (Founded in 1520 by Francisco Dávila)
Comendador (founded in 1600 by Comendador de Lares)
Monte Plata (founded in 1605)
Baní (Founded in 1664)
Moca (founded in 1700)
Santa Bárbara de Samaná (founded in 1756)
Dajabón (founded on July 4, 1776 : same day as US independence)
