Excuse me if this has been covered already. I searched but couldn't find any posts that answer this in detail.
BACKGROUND:
I used to chose to fly into SDQ (over POP) and take a guagua to Samana, just for the rich experience of the old route, its sights and smells: rice fields, mountains, changing scenery, a departure from the big city and all things efficient, a tranquil decompress time before hitting the heat, slowly getting reacquainted with the charms of its local color, food, music and culture, etc.
I have not been tempted to take the new road yet. I am skeptical. Which brings me to my question.
QUESTION:
How does the new road to Samana compare in scenery and local places to stop and eat? Is it ugly and boring concrete? Is there any good scenery similar to the old road(s)?
I'm almost tempted to take the longer old way, just because I suspect it is more interesting.
Let me know if I am mistaken.
Gracias,
