The Romana Dominican Republic

La Romana is the third largest city in the Dominican Republic, boasting a population of approximately 130,426 within the city's boundaries. It serves as the capital of the southeastern province of La Romana, located opposite Catalina Island. The city is in close proximity to several other cities, including San Pedro de Macorís and the national capital, Santo Domingo de Guzmán. La Romana is a bustling hub for the burgeoning tourist industry, with several local resort spots nearby, such as the beachfront Bayahibe, Dominicus, Casa de Campo, and an increasing number of golf resorts in the surrounding area. A popular mode of transportation in the town is riding motorbikes, as well as taking gua guas, another term for buses. A must-see attraction is Altos de Chavon, a "village" that replicates 15th century colonial architecture. It features numerous restaurants, a museum housing Taino artifacts, and offers a breathtaking view of the Chavon River. This enchanting replica of an Italian village was constructed by a man as a gift for his daughter. Additionally, artists from Sinatra to Cocoband have performed at its large amphitheater.
