First night in Santo Domingo

One of the first cities established in New America was Santo Domingo. After an initial try at the north of the island, the south turned out to be a better option and even today is Santo Domingo the biggest Central American city.
We have arrived by an easy bus ride from Punta Cana and walked the short distance towards our accommodation. Once we settled down, we could go out and explore.
The Dominican Republic is known for its Merengue and I am a big fan. The sound of the music is everywhere and the rhythm goes perfectly with the hot climate.
When we walked back from the shop, I could see chairs and the stage getting ready. So once we heard the music loudly shouting, we knew it was time to get out.
I'm not sure what was the occasion but there was a brilliant band playing live and the entire square filled with people moved to the rhythm of their songs.
The atmosphere was amazing and we have enjoyed watching everyone and even having a little dance of our own.Read more
