If you want to run freely on the long soft white sand beach; If you want to walk on a path full of palm trees; If you still want to eat a sumptuous seafood dinner, then come here! Dominica meets your requirements.
do you still want to imagine this place? I still think that such scenes can be seen everywhere. No, besides seascapes and palm trees, there are also enthusiastic music and dances, ethnic customs and festivals. In short, it is different here.
What is it? Next, let's take a look at Xiaobian to introduce it to you! I promise you'll like it here.
redonda mountain
every weekend, Dominican locals flock to the scenic spots at the top of the mountain, sit on swings or ride brooms, and take pictures of themselves as high as the sky.
the 36 mountain view and sea view are breathtaking. The entrance of Redonda Mountain is on the way to Sabana
delaMar, about 6.5km west of the exit of PlayaLimón n..
Cotu Panama National Park
has coral reefs on the water, about 4 caves, and islands such as IslaSaona, IslaCatalina and Catalini Tower. Most travelers will take part in group tours and go to the delicate beaches on Shona Island.
Hilly National Park
is located in a protected area west of the seaside town of Sabana de Lamar, covering an area of about 1,37 square kilometers. Green hills stand above the water, and there are more than 7 kinds of plants growing in coastal wetlands, including 4 kinds of mangroves.
the road from the city to the nature reserve is about 1 kilometers, and the road surface is rugged, but it is passable.
Twenty-SevenWaterfalls
Travelers generally describe the waterfalls in Damajagua as "the best travel experience in Dominica"-we agree with you very much.
Let the guide lead you through the waterfall, climb high and swim in the cool water. If you want to get down, jump directly into the sparkling pool from a height of 8 meters. There is no minimum number of people, so you can go by yourself.
Grande Beach
This long and wide tan beach is located about 8km east of RíoSan
Juan, facing the blue sea, with rows of palm trees behind it. In the distance is a barren white cliff overlooking the sea. There is also a surfing school offering courses here.
Linkong Beach
Linkong Beach, which is about 3 kilometers long, has beautiful scenery, with swaying palm trees, almost white soft beaches and colorful seawater for swimming. The river at the western end of the beach is also an ideal place to swim.
There are several seafood restaurants that rent beach chairs, which are very suitable for spending the day on the beach. Most people will come by boat from the town of Las
Galeras. The last 1.5 kilometers to the beach is a dirt road, but all vehicles can pass, except in rainy days.
but there's one bad thing here: there's too much garbage and no one to clean it up.
Susaya
Sosúa is often regarded as a diving paradise on the north coast. In addition to the 18 diving spots that can be reached by boat, diving shops also arrange diving trips as far away as Rio San Juan (through the Dudu Cave in mangroves and inland rivers, Dudu
Cave), CayoArena and even Haiti.
Here are the four best diving spots in Susaya:
ThreeRocks is suitable for beginners; Three huge coral headlands; It is 17 meters deep.
the p>AirportWall dives rapidly, with a small cave; It is 21 meters deep.
CoralGarden fan coral and tube sponge; It is 24 meters deep.
Pyramids trench, submarine cliff and swimming; It is 18 meters deep.
American Cathedral
The oldest existing cathedral in the American continent, the cornerstone of which was laid by Diego
Columbus, the son of Columbus, in 1514. Many architects participated in the construction process, so the church has Gothic vaults and Romanesque arches, but the interior decoration is baroque.
Columbus Park
Located next to the American Cathedral, it has a long history. There are several trees and a huge statue of Columbus in the park.
Fort Osama
For more than 5 years, this fort has been used as a fortification and a prison. At first, the Spanish flag fluttered above the building, and later it was replaced by the flags of Britain, France, Haiti, Colombia, the United States and Dominica.
Obando Hotel
A beautiful building built in 159, with a Gothic facade. It used to be the official residence of GovernorNicolásde
Ovando, who ordered the construction of Santo Domingo to the west of RíoOzama.
the shrine of the motherland
contains the marble mausoleum of the remains of three national heroes, namely, JuanPabloDuarte, FranciscodelRosario
Sanchez and RamónMatíasMella.
Music and Dance
Melange
Melange is a characteristic dance music in Dominica. From the time you arrive to the time you leave, the loud music of the merengue will always reverberate in your ears. This kind of dance music has a strong sense of rhythm, with 2/4 beat or 4/4 beat, which fully embodies the Dominican dance talent.
but what makes the melody unique is the use of traditional musical instruments and their ensemble in a 2-beat or 4-beat structure.
commonly used musical instruments include a double-sided drum called tambora, a guitar, a small pedal organ, and a "Gü ira", a metal musical instrument somewhat like a cheese planer, which uses a metal rod or a plastic rod to scrape and make sound.
Bachata
If Merenger counts urban music, Bachata is the "country" music here, which shows the love and heartbreak in the hinterland. In the mid-2th century, Bachata was born in the poorest areas, playing a soothing and romantic melody with a Spanish guitar.
the word bachata originally refers to casual and sometimes vulgar backyard parties in rural areas, and later it was played in a humble bar in Santo Domingo.
Salsa
Salsa, which originated from Cuban dance, is widely spread in the Caribbean, especially in Dominica.
in the mid-196s, Johnny
Pacheco, a flute player, composer and musician in Dominica, founded Fania Company to record this kind of "tropical Latin" music.
Reggie Dun and Rap
Reggie Dun, a mixture of American hip-hop and Latin rhythm, has become popular in Dominica. Reggie Dun has a unique urban style. With its fast-paced dance music, narrative of street life and catchy chorus, it soon became the party music of the younger generation in Dominica.
The history of Dominican rap music is relatively short. It was formed in the urban area of Dominica, and together with Reggie Dun, it became the most popular music style among Dominican youth. The local rappers have also successfully integrated dance elements such as Bachata and Morange.
EstadioQuisqueya
If you want to experience Dominican fanaticism about baseball, you might as well watch a game at the home of Licey and Escogido, six professional teams in Dominica. Tickets for most games can be bought before the first game.
Seafood
AdrianTropical
Located on the seashore, it has spectacular scenery and is suitable for family travel. Waiters carrying small portions of Dominican national dishes such as yucca or steamed pork with sweet potato powder (mofongo) kept shuttling. Affordable buffet and juice drinks are just right. Santo Domingo has three other branches.
AromadelaMontana
Located at the top of the mountain, this exquisite restaurant overlooks the rural scenery of Jarabacoa. There are often family dinners at lunch, and the candlelight on weekend nights is full of romance. Dishes include rib eye steak, salmon, and barbecue for two.
CastleClub
Located in a mountainous area half an hour's drive from Barit, it looks like a weird "castle" and has been being repaired (and it seems that it will never be finished). Most ingredients are produced in restaurant nurseries, and the quality of ingredients is top in Dominica.
The dishes include crispy grouper with lobster sauce, wild vegetable finger food, and dessert such as chocolate Mu Si. Business hours are somewhat unpredictable. It is recommended to book at least two days in advance.
ElMonteAzul
is located on the edge of the island country, with spectacular scenery. It serves two sets of dishes with high cost performance (French and Thai), and lion fish with cream white wine and lemon green onion thick sauce are the highlights. How to get there is a big problem: the last section of the road is very difficult for ordinary vehicles.
you can hitch a ride with the restaurant staff or take a taxi. Reservations are required and accommodation can be arranged.
LittleJohn
The brightly colored Volkswagen van, together with the most beautiful scenery in PuntaCana (Playa
Juanillo), is the best place to enjoy creative cocktails and rich seafood dishes.
We serve creative entrees such as pickled fish in orange juice, oysters, hamburgers, sandwiches, goat risotto with sugar stains and guacamole.
tabernalconde
The old-fashioned pub with a casual but charming atmosphere constantly improves the catering level in Susaya with well-prepared cocktails and innovative delicacies. Honeysuckle smoked cocktail is made by blending rum, lime and orange. The dishes include mud oven roasted loach with mango sauce.
besides, the price here is very cost-effective (don't tell the boss and chef).
Wilson's Satlaboca
This small barbecue shed is located on the bank of YasicaRiver in Islabon, just beside the road leading to Sabanetade
Yasica, 8 kilometers southwest of Barit.
Wilson, the owner, speaks fluent English and cooks grilled fish, chicken and lobster with wood fire for his guests.
