The most beautiful town

I don't think you can pick one specific town or exact place as the most beautiful in DR. I've visited many areas in DR and they all have their own beauty.
The beaches in Punta Cana are amazing. The rivers in La Vega are pretty and calm. Like I said, it depends.

My picks..
For different reasons:
Constanza
Samana
Santiago
Constanza because it has the coldest water of any city on the island and is nestled in a hig valley 3000+ feet above sea level.
Samana for the intense greenery all over and the ocean front, back and side. (and the people)
Santiago, because of its historical center and beautiful avenues....certainly not the more modern parts...
But each one has its own enchantment....

Re: Mao!
Mao is beautiful, I agree! I have never seen more beautiful sunsets in my life than during those three evenings I spent there. I also enjoyed the tranquility of the River Mao and the families and the children playing in the river. I ate at a restaurant there called Falar? that I still talk about because of the ambiance, the friendly service, and the wonderful experience of eating outdoors with the merengue/bachata playing in the background.

Katia/Natasha - Both right
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I lived in San Pedro a few years in the seventies. Wore rubber
boots for the mud in rain and a bandana or surgical mask in the
heat for the dust...very little pavement back then.
But I also loved a woman very deeply, wound up with a house
in front of the water and did good work. My son was concieved
in San Pedro de Macoris.
For all the dust and mud, delapidation of years of neglect back
at that time...it was a very very beautiful town.
Was back there 4 months ago, most of the 70's problems have been
corrected.
There are many more beautiful towns, it was just beautiful to me,
and still is in a way.

Paraiso and Los Patos (Barahona) are my favorites. Those towns are real small, but nice and quiet. The entire coast there is incredibly beautiful.

Up, up and up. Most tourists miss out on that. I take it the
initial mis-spelling ("picks") was either intentional, or
an understandable freudian slip.

Re: Mao!
I agree that Mao is a very beautiful but most of all I love its
people. My family comes from Mao (Comas-Tio) and the love and happiness that runs through Mao it is difficult to find in any other place. Mariana

Re: To Hillbilly or Mariana
Help! I know of the "bellos atardeceres" quote but is it true that there is a poem about Mao from which that is a line? If so, do either of you know where I can get a copy of that poem and who is the author? I fell in love with Mao visiting my sponsored child and his family. I have so many fond memories of the people, his family, and of course, my "ahijado." I would appreciate any info you could give. Also, the next time I visit, is there a hotel in Mao? I stayed in Santiago and the trip there and back cut into the time I wanted to visit with him. Thanks!
