Dominican Republic | Destination overview
This mountainous, beach-fringed country occupies the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola, second-largest of the Caribees. Santo Domingo, oldest city in the New World, is the historical capital and revels in restored treasures of its Spanish imperial days. As in Havana, there is a waterfront drive known as the malecon. There are also strong ties to the Columbus legend. Both Santo Domingo and Havana once housed Columbus' remains. Again, like Cuba, the national sport is baseball.
