From today's Sosua News:

[h=5]After a few days partying in the nightlife of Pedro Clisante in Sos?a many tourists are interested to experience a touch of culture. Therefore we now have a golden tip. On 12, 13 and 14 October in the antique district (Colonial Zone) of the capital Santo Domingo they commemorate that in 1492 Columbus set foot on the Island.[/h][h=5]It soon turned out for the Natives, the Indians, this was not something to commemorate. But for the shopkeepers and bar owners of the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo, this is a unique opportunity to celebrate for three days. Visitors can enjoy a large-scale festival. All museums are open until midnight. At every town square orchestras, dance and theater groups will do performances. Furthermore, craftsmen and artists present their works and share their views about the history of the Dominican Republic. The restaurants present special menus with historical dishes. Most activities are for free. The travel agencies in Sos?a will offer trips to these festivities in the capital in October with overnight stays. So people who want to see something else have a nice opportunity do so.[/h]
