Here's a map Santo Domingo - Dominican Republic / www.dominicanrealestates.com

I can see clearly that La Esperilla seems to be running parallel to Ave. 27 de Feb. which every taxi driver should know.

Please learn by heart:
NO TENGO LA CULPA.
(The most uttered sentence in this country and most probably used by your taxi driver...)

And in this case I do agree.

I agree, hard to believe that 20 other taxis didn't know the answer.

Good luck
let us know how it went
