BTW: Did any of you know who Guarocuya was?
Guarocuya or better known as Cacique Enriquillo, was the nephew of Queen Anacaona who was married to Cacique Caonabo...
Guarocuya got the name of Enrique when he was baptized a Catholic.
Since colonists always treated the Tainos as lesser people, it was common to use Enriquillo (as it meant to call a child or younger adult).
That's where that name comes from!

Great information, I had forgotten this, and I dutifully read "Enriquillo" in 5th grade!!!

More places
Health food store: It's across from Melo's cafe, a little further up the street. Some of the stuff they sell you can get at the supermercados (soy milk, soy pieces, pasta integral), but it's the only place in Barahona I've seen arroz integral. They also have some good granola for only RD $60.
New restaurant: Called "Ricoled", it's located on the corner up the street from BanReservas (calle Maria Montes). They have a plato del dia, which is actually a cafeteria-style selection of several different types of rice/meat/salads. They also have sandwiches, fries, hamburgers, empanadas and wraps. It's a nice, clean, new place in a little patio with lots of plants and yellow patio umbrellas. Good cheap option for lunch. They deliver: 809-524-6377
Cakes: Across from Ricoled there is a bakery where you can buy cake by the slice or order one.

Thanks for the info. Are they open for breakfast? I always stay in Bahoruco and do my errands in Barahona early in the morning so I am always on the lookout for a good breakfast with lots of fresh hot coffee.

I don't know if they're open for breakfast, you could drive by and check. I know Melo's is open and they have pancakes and french toast.
What is "Diomedes"? I have never heard of it.

Not WHAT is! Whom is. Diomendes is an owner of one of the kiosks in San Rafael, he is right below the rotunda or below the building to the left of the parking lot.
