Let's get to know Santiago de los Trenta Caballeros. It is located at the very center of the Dominican Republic and is sparkling not just with beauty and vitality, but also with opportunities for plenty of fun, excitement and revelry.
What are the attractions, you may ask? Well, this dynamic and vibrant city is lined with sites and monuments that are testimonials of the city's past and its forward-looking present. Your first stop should be a trip to the rum and tobacco factories. There is the E Leon Jimenez Tobacco Company and the Tobacco Museum, as well as the Bermudez Rum Factory.
Centro Leon is the city's modern district and is bursting with activities for those who want to experience a little bit of culture and art. Cinemacafe is celebrated every week and will usually feature up and coming local artists. There are also expos - both international and local.
Santiago is a carnival city - you will see this when you visit the Tomas Morel Museum of Folkloric Art, which houses a fine and extensive collection of carnival masks. During the afternoons, even as you enjoy the tropical breeze, go on a drive to the countryside. This will be a precious break from the hustle and bustle as these are lined with coffee plantations, fruit farms and tobacco fields.
The beaches are also quite enjoyable. The clear waters and the white powdery sand of the beaches are excellent playgrounds for getting that tan or for trying on a spot of fishing, snorkeling and swimming. Spend a relaxing time doing something mundane as enjoy a cold daiquiri by the beach or picking some shells.
This tropical island also boasts of world class shops, hotels, parts, as well as shopping centers. Bars, discos and nightclubs are quite easy to find and offer a welcome diversion at night. Do the meringue, the salsa, reggae, the papi chulo, papi papi and the bachata at some of the clubs.
