The other day I saw some pictures of La Vega and the city looked clean, with some nice neighborhoods and quite prosperous. Besides its carnival, those of you who have visited it or lived there, what's your opinion of this Dominican city?
The only hotel I've stayed at in La Vega was the Hotel Rey, which was definitely pleasant. Nice rooms and the price was'nt bad, I think no more than 900 pesos a night. Don't quote me on this though as I'm not completely sure.
Typicle scenes from La Vega? I have never been there.
